PREFACE. 



For an intimate revelation of social conditions in New Jer- 
sey during the first sixty-five years of English supremacy it 
would be difficult to imagine a volume richer in material than 
this. From about i6So it was the general practice to deposit 
wills with the Provincial Secretaries, by whom they were filed 
or recorded — usually both, — together with Inventories of es- 
tates, accounts of executors and administrators, and other 
papers pertaining to such matters, and many odd documents 
having no apparent relation thereto — as ante-nuptial contracts, 
marriage licenses, and the like. These records were brought 
together in 1790 or shortly thereafter, in the ofiice of the Sec- 
retary of State at Trenton, where they are now carefully ar- 
ranged and preserved. 

With the progress of time the wills and inventories show 
the increase in wealth of the colonists, at first particularly in 
lands and cattle ; later, in those possessions which indicate the 
acquisition of luxuries. A " muscatoes curtain " and a " mus- 
keternett" were obviously necessaries. But from the first 
there are mentions of relics of old-country dignities — in the ar- 
ticles of gold and silver, seals, jewelry (including a diamond 
ring), watches, swords, an " agate hilted rapier," a " skeene," 
doubtless derived from some Highland ancestor, "armor," 
" artillery," and other valued belongings. In some scores of 
cases a Bible is bequeathed, not infrequently in Dutch or in 
French. Other volumes are very often mentioned, mostly re- 
ligious or theological works, with occasional lists of books on 
law and medicine, the collections being sometimes dignified as 
libraries, or as a " lyberary "or " libruary." An amber neck- 
lace, a sure protection against witchcraft, especially for chil- 
dren, was naturally prized ; and so were the few looking

glasses in the colony. The silver plate usually included punch 
bowls, but in one instance this popular vessel was of lignum 
vit£e. Among the importations by the wealthy, or the curios 
picked up by seafaring men, were the " Chappay Cabbonite," 
(a Japanese cabinet?), the "Turkey worsted chair covers," 
the coral and bells to amuse some infant, the " berrey buttons," 
china dishes and Spanish tables. The " peas-porridge taw- 
ney-cloth," the " printed leather breeches," the silk gloves, the 
broadcloth, the " men's stomachers," the " corblina hats," the 
" a Larrum " clock, and the *' pott hangers with the flower de 
luce in them," were also doubtless of foreign workmanship. 
The people readily adopted Indian bows and arrows and 
knives, and also, alas, made slaves of the harmless aborigines. 

There are pleasant glimpses of generosity on the part of the 
testators, as where they remember a faithful apprentice or ser- 
vant, or give freedom to a slave. In about thirty wills provis- 
ion is made for the building or repair of churches or Friends' 
meeting-houses, or for the poor, or for burying-grounds, and 
half-a-dozen bequests are made for schools. The need of edu- 
cation was painfully appreciated by some of these will-makers, 
who, even when " fol of pain of Bodey," were anxious to pro- 
mote the " scowling" of their children, whom they wished to 
have taught " to read and wright true Inglish," or "to larn to 
Read rite & Sifer," to which end they gave their " Holy and 
soly " " ckcketere" " pour and athorate and strink" to collect 
all debts, including those " Dangerously dew," or " dangros 
depts," or both " sperate and desperate," warning them at the 
same time not to pay " extorsinat" claims of the " Curirgen" 
in the testator's last '' vSixnis," or of other creditors, in order 
to save enough to pay the " Lagoses," especially those in re- 
membrance of " meaney kineneses" on the part of a " dafter," 
" Cester," '" cussin," " cinsman," or other " aire." 

Many a family romance and many a tragedy is hinted at in 
these musty old documents — as where Captain William Sand- 
ford in his last will declares that the mother of his children was 
made his wife on board a vessel in the Surinam river many a 
long year before. Stories there are of family estrangements, of 
runaway marriages, of wayward children, of disinherited sons

and daugliters, of parents grieving ever sons who have disap- 
peared for years, but v\^ho are still provided for in their father's 
will in case they return. Not a few^ of these wills v.'ere made 
in anticipation of a voyage to England or to the West Indies, 
and that the perils of such sea-goings were not overestimated 
is shown by the fact that in many cases the wills were offered 
for probate very soon after, the testators having been lost at 
sea. A very large proportion of all tlie testaments are death- 
bed wills — made during the last illness of the testators, indi- 
cating the prevalence of the superstitious dread of performing 
this simple duty when in good health. 

A suggestive picture of the primitiveness of those early days 
is the story of John Clarke, the peddler, murdered in 1691 at 
Salem, whose pack had to be administered on, after his boat 
had been taken up and his murderer arrested. Other inquests 
hint at suspicious deaths. And what a gruesome bequest is 
that of George Gordon, of Perth i\mboy, in 1686, who gives 
his body to his physician for dissection. 

The inventories and appraisements give valuable informa- 
tion as to the character and worth of farm products in New 
Jersey before 1730, and as to the occupations of the testators 
and others. 

These are but a few of the topics suggested merely in 
glancing over the Index of .Subjects at the end of the volume. 
A careful perusal of the contents of the documents here so care- 
fully abstracted by Mr. B. Fernow will abundantly repay the 
reader. 

In preparing this work the abstracts of wills were made 
from the originals, and where they are recorded a reference to 
the book of record is given. As the earlier wills were recorded 
in many different volumes, it was thought best to arrange the 
wills in the alphabetical order of testators' or intestates' names, 
which also saved forty or fifty pages of index, and at the same 
time covered the whole Colony for the period preceding 1731. 

The manuscript for a second volume of these Abstracts of 
Wills, 1 73 1-1750, was destroyed in the great fire at Paterson, 
February 8-9, 1902. The " copy" for a third volume, 1751- 
1760, was fortunately saved a like fate. It is hoped that the 



PREFACE. 



continued liberality of the Legislature will provide for contin- 
uing this series of Abstracts of Wills down to 1S04, when the 
present system came into vogue, of having all wills recorded in 
the County of the testator's residence.

Early Will-Making in New Jersey. 



PRIMITIVE IDEAS OF PROPERTY. 

The evolution of mankind from primitive savagery to bar- 
barism, from barbarism to semi-civilization, and so to fuller 
civilization, has been marked at every step through the toil- 
some ages by a departure from the idea of tribal, or communal, 
or family ownership, to the conception of individual property, 
whereby the industrious, the thrifty, the capable, has been as- 
sured of the right to possess and enjoy that which he has ac- 
quired. As that profound student and keen ol^server, Morgan, 
puts it, basing his conclusions chiefly upon his researches 
among the American Indians, who present to us a picture of 
primitive society in the states of savagery and of barbarism : 
In the development of society there were two great stages — 
" firstly, changing descent from the female line, which was the 
archaic rule, as among the Iroquois, to the male line, which was 
the final rule, as among the Grecian and Roman gentes ; and, 
secondly, changing the inheritance of the property of a de- 
ceased member of the gens, from his gentiles [blood-kin], who 
took it in the archaic period, first to his agnatic kindred, and 
finally to his children. "^ Sir Henry Maine, also, concludes 
that the earliest ownership of land was in the community, 
rather than in the individual, although the periodical redistri- 
bution of the land among families has been a very general cus- 
tom among Aryan peoples from the earliest times. The vil- 
lage system, w^hich prevails to this day among the Hindus, and 
which seems to have existed among Teutonic peoples to well 
within the historic period, was evidently derived from the 
primitive idea of tribal or community ownership, but at least 
in its later stages undoubtedly recognized individual proprie-

torship to a larger extent than has been generally appreciated 
or admitted by students, even one so thorough as Maine. ^ 

THE DESCENT OF PROPEUTV. 

As a natural outgrowth of the idea of individual ownership, 
or property, there followed the concession of the right, or at 
least the propriety, of keeping one's own property in 
one's own family, even after death ; and by an easy 
step forward, the propriety of having the ancestor's pos- 
sessions descend to his children. This, of course, was 
a long step from the archaic period, represented in primi- 
tive Anierican society, when descent was in the female 
line. When property came to descend in the male line it is 
reasonable to suppose that the community, or at least the fam- 
ily, saw to it that the property was distributed among the sons, 
in such a manner as to make the best use of it for the commun- 
ity at large. This appears by many of the ancient Hindu laws 
regulating descent, as will be shown presently. The earliest 
written laws known to us make no provision for the testament- 
ary disposition of property, but carefully regulate its distribu- 
tion at the owner's decease. 

SEMITIC LAWS OF DESCENT. 

Among Semitic peoples we have that remarkable Coile of 
Hammurabi, King of Babylon, cir. 3300 B. C, the oldest body 
of law that has come down to us. Of the two hundred and 
eighty-two sections of that Code there are twenty (165 to 1S4) 
prescribing the manner in which a man's property may be dis- 
tributed by him in his lifetime, and how it shall descend at his 
death. Nowhere is he authorized to dispose of it by will, nor 
to disinherit a son, even in his lifetime, except with the ap- 
proval of a court, after due investigation. 

By tlie Hebrews, while at first the system of tribal owner- 
ship was recognized the inheritance of the first-born son was 
soon insisted on, and flailing male issue the descent was in the 
female line.^

ARYAN I.AWS OF INHERITANCE. Xi 

The Koran carefully sets forth the manner in which a man's 
estate shall be distributed, making wise provision for his chil- 
dren, and failing issue, then for his next of kin, in which we 
see indications of the primitive customs of the Arabians. i 

ARYAN LAWS OF INHERITANCE. 

Among Aryan peoples, the oldest literature we have is tiiat 
of the Hindus, as embodied in the Vedas, a great collection of 
religious hymns. Upon these have been grafted an infinite va- 
riety of religious, philosophical, sociological and legal com- 
mentaries, which have developed into systems and codes, in 
turn the subject of yet other commentaries. Perhaps the ear- 
liest of these outgrowths of the Vedas are tlie Laws of Manu, 
probably dating back at least looo B. C. According to his 
Laws (IX, 104-11S), on the lather's death the oldest 
son was required to support the family, and the broth- 
ers to endow their sisters. Gautama's '^ Institutes of the 
Sacred Law," dating far back toward the times of 
the Vedas, also provide for descent to the sons, with 
some modifications according to circumstances. ~ The Viisish- 
///a Dharmaj-astra (of uncertain date, but probably very an- 
cient) provides (XVII) for the partition of the paternal estate 
among the sons, in certain proportions according to the moth- 
er's caste, while the daughters " divide the nuptial present of 
their mother."^ Apastamba's "Aphorisms of the Sacred 
Law," compiled cir. 500 B. C, declare that a man "should 
during his lifetime, divide his wealth equally among his (capa- 
ble) sons," failing which the inheritance might go to a daugh- 
ter. He explains away the ancient Vedas in fivor of primo- 
geniture, and the statement that "Manu divided his wealth 
among his sons."^ The " Law of Inheritance" as explained 
by Br/haspati (cir. i B. C.) is much the same as that given by 
Aspatamba, as might be expected, he following closely the an- 

1 Sura IV, 8. 13-15. J. M. BodvvcU's edition, London. iSTfi, is excellent, llie 
chronological arrangement of llie Suras beintr a desirable feature; but liis trans- 
lation is Ics.s accurate than that of E. H. Palmer, Oxford, 1880.

cient code of Manu.i The Naradasmr/ti (cir. A. D. 350-450) 
makes many modifications in the earlier codes, and virtually 
abrogates the right of primogeniture by declaring that even the 
youngest son may undertake the management of the family 
property, if specially qualified for the task, and that the mother 
shall share equally with the sons, and an unmarried daughter 
take the same share as a younger son. The " Thirteenth Title 
of Law" in this work, fifty-two sections, is devoted entirely to 
the " Law of Inheritance. "2 In the Institutes of Vishnu (cir. 
A. D. 400) the laws of inheritance are strictly defined, the 
general principle being that " among the sons each preceding 
one is preferable to the one next in order, and takes the inher- 
itance, and maintains the rest," including those incapable of 
self-support. 3 The Baudhuyana (cir. A. D. iioo) contains 
elaborate regulations for the distribution of the inheritance 
(I, 5, II, 11-14; II., 2, 3, 1-53), a preference being allowed 
to the eldest son, the other sons sharing equally, the sons of 
mothers of ditlerent castes, however, taking according to the 
order of the castes. •* 

It is doubtless true, that many of these elaborate laws were 
rather an expression of ideals than legislation actually in effect, 
but many of the customs or systems they represent, after being 
handed down for thousands of years, from the misty times of 
the Vedas, exist to-day in the "village communities" of 
India, which are so widespread and interesting a feature of that 
strange country, and which have preserved through all the 
ages much of the thought and practice of primitive times. ^ 

This imperfect summary of the earliest laws of inheritance 
suffices to show the importance attached to the subject by the 
Semitic and Aryan precursors of the European races, and the

usages forming the foundation for Grecian, Roman and Teu- 
tonic legislation on the subject. 

ROMAN TESTAMENTARY LAW. 

Without attempting to trace the transition from primitive 
customs of inheritance or descent to the more artificial systems 
of testamentary disposition of property we may pass at once to 
^the Roman law on the subject, the history and character of 
which are indicated in the summary given in the Institutes of 
Justinian, compiled in the sixth century A. D., wherein it is 
related : 

" Two kinds of testaments were formerly in use; the one 
was practiced in times of peace, and named calatls coniitiis; 
because it was made in a full assembly of the people ; and the 
other was used, when the people were going forth to battle, and 
was stiled procinciuin tesiamentutn. But a third species was 
afterwards added, whicli was called per ces et libraviy because 
it was effected by emancipation, which was an alienation, 
made by an imaginary sale in the presence of five witnesses, 
and the libripe^is or balance-holder, all citizens of Rome, above 
the age of fourteen ; and also in the presence of him, who was 
called the emptor famihv or purchaser. ^ The two former 
kinds of testaments have been disused for many ages; and that, 
which was made per ccs et Ubram, although it continued 
longer in practice, hath now ceased in part to be observed. 

" The three kinds of testaments before mentioned all took 
their rise from the civil law ; but afterwards another species 
was introduced by the edict of the praetor ; for, by the hono- 
rary or praitorian edict, the signature of seven witnesses was 
decreed sufficient to establish a will without any emancipation 
or imaginary sale ; but this signature of witnesses was not re- 
quired by the civil law. 

1 Before the time of the Decemvirs (cir. 450 B. C.) a Roman citizen declared his 
wishes regarding the disposal of his property after his death, to the assembly of 
the thirty curiaj or parishes— a relic of tribal or gentile government. By the 
Twelve Tables the private testaments of the father of a family were authorized. 
He "i)romulgated his verbal or written testament in the presence of five citizens, 
who represented the five classes of the Roman people; a sixth witness attested 
their concurrence; a seventh weighed the copper money, which was paid by an 
imaginary purchaser, and the estate was emancipated by a lictitious sale and im- 
mediate release." See Gibbon's admirable discourse on the Civil Law, Chap, xlv, 
of his ''Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire;" Livy. Lib. iil, caps. 3;>-35. 



XIV ROMAN-DUTCH LAW IN NEW NETHERLAND. 

" When the civil and piictorian began to be blended to- 
gether partly by visage, and partly by emendation, made by the 
imperial constitutions, it became an established rule, that all 
testaments should be made at one and the same time according 
to the civil law ; that they should be sealed by seven witnesses 
according to the prictorian law, and that they should also 
be subscribed by the witnesses, in obedience to the con- 
stitutions. Thus the law concerning testaments seems to be 
tripartite : for the civil law inforces the necessity of having 
witnesses to make a testament valid, who must all be present 
at one and the same time without interval ; the sacred consti- 
tutions ordain, that every testament must be subscribed by the 
testator and the witnesses ; and the prtetorian edict requires 
sealing, and fixes the number of witnesses. 

"What we have already said concerning written testa- 
ments, is sufficient. But if any man is willing to dispose of 
his effects by a nuncupative testament; i. e., by a testament 
without writing, let him be assured, if, in the presence of 
seven witnesses, he declares his will by word of mouth, that 
such verbal declaration will be a complete and valid testament 
according to the civil law."' 

THE ROMAN-DUTCH LAW IN NEW NETHERLAND. 

The civMl law codified in Justinian's time was somewhat 
modified in Western Europe, and in Holland a new code (a 
"Political Ordinance") was adopted in 1580, elaborating and 
defining the Roman-Dutch Law. According to this system 
wills could be made orally, or in writing. 

0/-a//y, or by word of mouth, by expressing one's wishes 
as to the disposal of the property, to an alderman and the sec- 
retary of the local court, or to a notary in the presence of two 
witnesses, whereupon the notary reduced the will to writing, 
and it was then signed by the testator and the witnesses, and 
the notary made a record of the transaction in his official min- 
utes. 

In writings which having been signed and sealed was 
handed to a notary in the presence of two witnesses, the testator

at the same time, in their presence, dechirinj^j it to be liis testa- 
ment. The notary endorsed it accordingly, and made a minute in 
his records, which was signed by the testator and the witnesses. 
The notary also kept the original will in his custody, to be pro- 
duced only on the death of the testator. 

No public record of wills was required, or authorized — a 
fact causing untold regret on the part of persons who have 
vainly sought for data of their Dutch ancestry in Holland. 
The wills and the records of their execution and attestation 
were kept by the notary who reduced them to writing, and liy 
his family afterwards. The notary being a public, judicial 
officer, his action in the matter of wills was regarded as equiv- 
alent to the proof and probate required in the English courts.^ 

SOME DUTCH V/ILLS AND ADMINISTRATIONS. 

The Roman-Dutch law carefully guarded the rights of in- 
fants, and of intestates, and in the government of New Nether- 
land the Directoi'-General and Council of the Colony exercised 
jurisdiction in such matters, the same being afterwards dele- 
gated to the Burgomasters and Schepens, who sat as an 
Orphans' Court. In 1656 Orplian Masters were appointed, to 
take cognizance of the rights of minors. From the records of 
this body the following extracts are taken, as illustrating in 
some measure the manner of making wills, the administration 
of estates, and the protection of the interests of orphans : 

1656, January 20. " Govert Loockermans and Pieter van

1656, May 5. " Whereas Cornells Groesen and his wife 
Lysbet N. have come to their death during the latest disaster 
with the Indians, and it is reported that they have left some 
goods at the house of Jan Schryver, the tailor, therefore the 
Orphanmasters P. Leendertsen van die Grift and Pieter Wolf, 
van Couvveniioven, having deemed it advisable, so that the 
children, now captives of the Indians, when they return, may 
have the benefit of them and debtors as well as creditors may 
come to their riglits, this inventory was taken by the Orphan- 
masters in the presence of the Deacons of this City on the 20th 
of April 1656, as more fully appears by the record of inven- 
tories, and as some goods were found which would be of no 
use to the children, and as money is required to ransom them 
and to pay outstanding debts, the Orphanmasters have decided 
to sell to the highest bidder at auction the movable goods, 
which was done on May 4th, 1656, and recorded May 5th. 
Agreeably to the notice affixed, everybody is notified, that if 
he has anything to claim from the estate left by Cornells Groe- 
sen, dec'd, he must report it between to-day and next Monday, 
May Sth, to the Secretary of this City, Jacob Kip, with speci-

his claim in the future."-

XX ENGLISH TESTAMENTARY LAW. 

The absence of written records renders it quite impossible 
to determine with precision the law of inheritance among the 
Germanic or Teutonic peoples two thousand years ago. Ac<. 
cording to Tacitus (cap. xx) " Heredes tamen successoresque 
sui cuique liberi : et nullum testamentum. Si liberi non sunt, 
proximus gradus in possessione fratres, patrui, avunculi." 
Here was the law of descent, simply, on much the same lines 
as among the Aryan and Seniitic peoples two thousand years 
earlier. 

It is a striking illustration of the slight Impression made by 
Roman institutions on the people of England, that the Roman 
law left not a vestige of its influence on the institutions of that 
country after the conquerors had witlidrawn. The latest re- 
searches fail to reveal any trace of testaments among the An- 
glo-Saxons before the ninth century, and even those seem to 
have been rather in the nature of post-obit gifts, than of wills 
in the modern acceptation of the term. 

In the laws proclaimed by Alfred, cir. S90, for example, it 
was declared (cap. /}i): "The man wlio has boc-land, and 
which his kindred left him, then ordain we that he must not 
give it from lils mreg-burg [kindred], if there be writing or 
witness that it was forbidden by those men who at first acquired 
it, and by those who gave it to him that h.e s'noulcl do so." 

" The ordinance of Ethelred [A. D. 978-1016], and his 
witan ordained as frith-bot for the whole nation, at Wood- 
stock, in the land of the Mercians," provided (cap. 71) : " If 
anyone depart this life intestate, be it tlirough his neglect, be 
it through sudden death ; then let not the lord draw more from 
his property than his lawful heriot. And according to his di- 
rection, let the property be distributed very justly to the wife 
and children and relations, to everyone according to the degree 
that belongs to him."^ 

That there was testamentary folk-law, or borough-law, 
seems probable. Indeed, in the gradual growth of royal author- 
ity, when the devise of land was condemned, borough customs 
were spared. By the thirteenth century the system of primo- 
geniture had become firmly established, so that a man could no

ENGLISH TKSTAMKNTAKY LAW. XXI 

longer dispose of his lands by will — except burgage tene- 
ments — and could only bequeath his chattels. After nearly 
three centuries the statutes of 33 and 34 Hen. VIII. gave tlie 
power of devising to all having estates in fee simple, except in 
joint tenancy, over the whole of their soccage land, and over 
two-thirds of their lands holden by knight's service. This pow- 
er was extended by statutes of iz Charles II., cap. 10, and 29 
Charles II., cap. 3. The last-mentioned act prescribed the 
method of executing wills, requiring them to be in writing, 
signed by the testator, or l)y some person for him, in his pres- 
ence, by his direction, and attested and subscribed in his pres- 
ence by three witnesses. 

The administration of estates was taken charge of by the 
church, professedly in tlie interest of the soul of the deceased 
testator or intestate, and the executor became the personal rep- 
resentative of the deceased. The will was proved in "the 
court of the judge ordinary, who was in the normal case the 
bishop of the diocese." At a later period it was decided that 
if the testator had goods worth more than live pounds in each of 
two dioceses, the executor should seek a "prerogative" probate 
in the archbishop's court. The goods of intestates were at the 
disposal of the judge ordinary, who in 12S5 was by statute re- 
quired to pay the intestate's debts out of such chattels.' 

This system was gradually extended, until sustantially all 
matters connected with the proof of wills, the granting of letters 
of administration, and of guardianship, and the administering 
of estates,- was entrusted to or absorbed by the ecclesiastical 
courts. When England separated from the See of Rome this 
jurisdiction, by the statute of 23 Hen. VIII., was declared to

Hargrave, in his note on Co. Litt., Ill, declai'es that "the testamentary power 
overland was certainly in use among our Anglo-Saxon and Danish ancestors." 
The statement is chiefly based on VVrighfs Tenures, and cannot be substantiated 
by any documents known to us at this day. As for certain testamentary customs, 
see Blount's Jocular Tenures, London, 1698; also Lex Custumaria: or, a Treatise 
of Copy-hold Estates, etc , by S. C, London. 1C96.

be in the bishop, or ordinary, of the diocese, — so called, says 
my Lord Coke, who was a better authority on law than on 
etymology, English or Latin,- '•'•quia habet ordinariam juris- 
dictionem di jiire propria^ et non per depzitationem, the 
name we liave anciently taken from the canonists, and do apply 
it only to a bishop, or any other that liath ordinary jurisdiction 
in causes ecclesiastical"- — and in cases of goods of the value of 
£5 — bona 7iotablUa — in another diocese, in the Metropolitan, 
the archbishop of Canterbury, or in the archbishop of York. 
The bishop exercised this jurisdiction by an oflicial, called his 
chancellor, and sometimes called the ordinary, who was his 
surrogate ; the archbishop, who claimed it by way of special 
prerogative, by an official called the judge of the prerogative 
court, a name derived from the fact that the jurisdiction 
in such cases was by the archbishop's prerogative.'^ An 
appeal lay from the ordinary to the prerogative court, 
whose sentence was without appeal, until a statute of 24 Hen. 
VIIL gave an appeal to the King in chancery, which was heard 
before delegates appointed under the great seal, and who were 
called the court of delegates. 

NUNCUPATIVE WILLS. 

In times when the art of writing was confined almost ex- 
clusively to the clergy, and when landow'ners very often met 
with sudden deaths, in battle or in broils, written wills were 
usually or at least frequently out of the question. So the law 
recognized nuncupative wills — made orally in the presence of 
witnesses, and afterwards reduced to writing by someone who 
heard the declaration of the testator. ^ The statue of 29 Chas. 
IL, cap. 3, requiring all wills to be in writing, signed by 
the testator, practically forbade nuncupative testaments. 

THE PROBATE OF WILLS IN NEW ENGLAND.

ity in secular allairs, and as there was no ecclesiastical court — 
neither bishop nor archbishop — and they were at liberty to 
make their own lavvs,^ they provided for the probate of wills 
before the Governor and Assistants, by an act passed in 16^3. 
The practice durino- the first twelve years of the settlement docs 
not appear from the statute books, but doubtless the act in 
question was substantially a reduction to writing of the custom 
that had previously prevailed in the Colony. 'I'his law was as 
follows : 

"•It is enacted by the Court that the will and Testaments of 
such as die bee ordered proued before the Gou'' and Assistants 
the next Court after the pty is deceased prouided the court 
bee not within one month after the death of the Testator and a 
full Inventory duely vallued bee p'"sented with the same before 
letters of adminnestration bee f.nanted to any ; of all the goods 
and Chattels of the said prsons ; alsoe if incase any man die 
without will ; then liis goods bee by his wife or other nearest to 
him Inventoried and duely vallued and pi'sented to the Gou^ 
and assistants att the time foremencioned and if it be a single 
pson without kinred heer resedent ; that then the Gou'' appoint 
some to take a Just Inventory of the same vpon oath to bee true 
and Just as in other the cases before mentioned. "' 

This act was continued in the revision of 165S, and sub- 
sequently. 

The propriety of nuncupative wills was obvious in a new 
settlement, and in 1645 this law was made : 

"It is enacted by the Court that if any man being weake and 
sicke and otherwise of disposing memory do declare his mind 
and will concerning the disposing of his lands or goods before 
two or more of the ftreeholders of the place where hee Hues ;

The Colonies of Massachusetts Bay, New Haven and Con-

their experience.

XXVIU EARLY NEW YORK PROBATES OF WILLS. 

Letters of administration were granted July lO, 1666, by 
Gov. Richard Nicoll, on the estate of Francis Cregier.^ 

The will of Edward Jessup, of Westchester, was proved at 
Flushing, November 14, 1666, "at Sessions, by the Governor's 
special order. '"^ 

At a Court of Sessions in Southampton, L. I., November 
16, 1665, administration was granted to John Concklin, jr., on 
the estate of his wife's former husband, William Salmon. ^ 

After the English had conquered New Netherland, the 
Mayor's Court of New York continued to act as an Orphans' 
Court, in the same manner as the Burgomasters and Schepens 
had formerly done, and wills were drawn up and executed — 
at least among the Dutch — frequently after the ancient custom. 
The following instances illustrate the maner in which the Duke 
of York's Laws were practically applied by the Mayor's Court, 
succeeding to the functions of the Dutch tribunal : 

"Octob'". the 3o'-\ 1666. Att a Mayors Court held at New 
York. Present Capt". Thomas Willet, Mayor, M''. O. Ste- 
venson, M'". John Lawrence, M'^". Corn. Steenwyck, M'". Jo-

that the s*^. Will and Inventorie should stand & Remaine in

"James Willet & M'". Wheat have declared & Testified

deed of the s^^ Darrel, as alsoo that the sfi. Darrel (as farre 
as they Could apprehend) had his good memorie when he 
made the s^^. Will. 

"Timothy Bigs hath on this day declared uppon oath to the 
Court, that to his Knowledge uppon the Prizing of the estate 
of the aboves*^. darrel, he hath declared al the Estate to the 
Prizers of what he knewe of."'!

A petition was presented to the Governor, April 26, 1670, 
by the children of Samuel Palmer, late of Westchester county, 
deceased, asking that letters of administration should be grant- 
ed to his widow, that she might have the benefit of his small 
estate. 1 

Gov. Lovelace confirmed, July 23, 1671, the appointment 
of orphan masters by the Mayor's court of New York.~ 

"At a JMayors Court held at New Yorck, September 19, 
1671, Gabriel Minvelle produceing in Court the Will & Testa-

In many instances the appointment of administrators was 
made directly by the Governor for the time being, as in i66S, 
by Gov. Ri. NicoUs ; in 1671, by Gov. Francis Lovelace; in 
1672, by Gov. Edmond Andross.^ The Court of Mayor and 
Aldermen of the City of New York acted in other cases. ^ 

EARLIEST PROBATES OF WILLS IN NEW JERSEY. 

When New Jersey was granted (March 12, 1664) by 
Charles II. to the Duke of York, and by him (June 23-24, 
1664) to the Lords Proprietors — Lord John Berkley and Sir 
George Carteret — the latter appointed Philip Carteret (Febru- 
ary ro, 1664-5) to be Governor of New Jersey. The origin 
and history of the sovereign power of the Colony, ultimately 
vesting in the Governor, has been traced in the Introduction to 
Volume XXII. of the New Jersey Archives, pages Ixi-lxvi. 
No record has been found of the probate of any will in New 
Jersey for more than five years after the arrival of Gov. Car- 
teret in the Colony, and there was no legislation or public or- 
der on the subject until he had been here ten years. Yet there 
can be little doubt that he exercised the functions of Ordinary 
or Surrogate-General, as part of the supreme power of gov- 
ernment which had devolved upon him. It is not unlikely, 
however, that the Dutch inhabitants continued to follow their 
old way, to some extent, permitting the wills of deceased tes- 
tators to remain in the custody of the notaries drafting them, 
and settling intestates' estates by mutual agreement, or with 
the assistance of the church consistory. The settlers at Eliza-

bethtown and at Monmouth having received their patents from 
Col. NicoUs (the former December i, 1664, and the latter 
April 8, 1665) prior to the coming of Governor Carteret (who 
arrived at New York July 29, 1665), were naturally reluctant 
to yield allegiance to the Lords Proprietors, especially as that 
involved the payment of quit rents to the new owners of New 
Jersey. Hence they would be disposed to follow the practice 
in the matter of wills laid down in the Duke of York's Laws, 
published on Long Island, whence a large proportion of those 
settlers had come. The i\'ewark colonists, in the absence of 
other regulations on the subject, doubtless adhered to the usage 
to which they had been accustomed in Connecticut. The 
Swedish settlers on the Delaware undoubtedly were governed 
by the Civil Law, prevailing in their fatherland, and which in 
that country was mucli the same as in Holland. But in a new 
country, with a scanty population, widel}^ scatteretl, and the 
merest shadow of a central government, each settlement or 
community must have been, practically, self-governing in most 
of its internal affairs. ^ In a compact settlement like Newark or 
Elizabethtown, vv'ith say two dozen families, all of them inti- 
mate, bound together by the interests of common ownership, 
and many of them by ties of kindred, what more natural than 
a reversion to primitive communal government.^ If a man 
died, his will — if he made any — would be read at his funeral, 
in the presence of the whole community, and the settlement 
would see that it was carried into etl'ect, even though there 
should be no probate of the instrument. If he died without a 
will, the entire body of citizens would administer upon his es- 
tate and deal even and exact justice to the widow and chikhen. 
The writer has seen wills made in the latter part of the 
eighteenth century which were never pi'oved or recorded, but 
which were carried out in perfect CvO.npIiance with their pro- 
visions. The earliest record that has been found of any order 
by Governor Carteret relative to administering upon an estate 
is the following, under date of December 20, 1670: 

'' By Phillip Carteret Esq^' Governor of the province of 
New Jersey. Whereas Danic! Greasy late of Woodbridge,

Whereof I have hereVnto subscribed and affixed the scale of the 
province the 20th X'" 1670."' 

A few weeks later we find the following entry : 

'•Joshua Peirce late of Woodbridge, planter, died intestate 
leaving a widow and two small children behind him, the gov- 
ernor appoints his widow Dorathy Pierce administratrix, to 
pay and satisfy his just debts, and with power to sue, recover

satisfied all just debts and funeral charges as aforesaid to dis- 
pose of the remainder for the best advantage of herself and her 
said children as she shall think fit, February 37, 1670." 

The next record of the kind is six months later; 

" Lawrence Ward, late of Newark, died intestate, without 
children, leaving only his widow upon his estate; and the said 
widow, Elizabeth Ward, renounced in favor of her sister Ese-

chusetts, upon condition that the said Elizabeth Ward, widow, 
shall enjoy the said whole estate during her life and to dispose 
of one-third part thereof remaining at the time of her death as 
she shall think good. Tiie Governor accordingly appoints Ise- 
bell Baldwyn administratrix, September 2, 1671. 

" Esebell Baldwyn declares that whereas Lawrence Ward, 
late of Newark, my brother, deceased intestate, etc., leaving a 
widow, my sister Elizabeth Ward, upon the estate of my de- 
ceased brother, I appoint my son John Catlin and John Ward, 
turner, my kinsman, both of Newark, attorneys to take unto 
them jointly all my vvhole power and interest in and to the said 
estate, etc. September 4, 1671."^ 

In the case of the last will and testament of Hugh Roberts, 
of Newark, dated February 26, 1670, the record declares that it 
was signed, sealed and delivered in the presence of Capt. Robert 
Treat, who makes oath, November 22, 1671, that "this will 
above mentioned is the last will and testament of the said Hugli 
Roberts to the best of his knowledge," the proof being made 
before William Pardon, Deputy Secretary of the Province. 
There follows the inventory and appraisement, the overseers 
being sworn before Robert Treat, Magistrate, November 17, 
1671. Mary Roberts swears to the inventory, November 22, 
1671, "before Robert Treat, by permission of the Governor."- 
In other words, Capt. Treat was authorized to act as deputy 
surrogate for the Governor, for this purpose. 

The last will and testament of Matthew Campfield, of New- 
ark, was witnessed by John Brown, senior, and Tho : Pierson, 
March 19, 1672-3, and on June 11, 1673, we find that "John 
Brov/n sen^' & tho Pierson sen'' wittnesses hereunto did make 
oath before me y'' this is the Last will & testament of Matthew 
Campfeild, his own handewriting," this proof being made 
before John Berry, Deputy Governor at the time. The inven- 
tory was sworn to before him the same day, and on June 30, 
1673, he granted letters of administration to vSarah Campfield, 
the widow, sole executrix under the will.^

Administration upon the estate of Obadiali Winter, late of 
Woodbridge, deceased, was granted by Gov. Carteret, April 
19, 1675, to Margaret Winter alias Grabum, his wife, sole ex- 
ecutrix under the testator's v/ill, dated March ist, 1674-5.1 

The will of Martin Tichanor, of Newark, dated October 19, 
16S1, was proved by the oath of two witnesses, Ephraim Bur- 
well and William Camp, who made oath before James Bollen, 
Justice, that "they were present as witnesses to the signing 
and sealing of this last will and testament of Martin Tichanor, 
deceased." Bollen was also Secretary of the Province of East 
Jersey, and so in close touch with the Governor, by whom he 
was doubtless authorized to take the proof of this will. Letters 
of administration were issued to John Tichanor, executor 
under the last will and testament of Martin Tichanor, his 
father, by Governor Philip Carteret, November 14, i6Si.^ 

And the next day the Governor granted letters of adminis- 
tration on the estate of Jasper Crane, late of Newark, to John 
Crane, his son, executor.-^ 

From the records of the probate of wills It appears very 
clearly that the county courts exercised jurisdiction in such 
matters quite frequently, particularly in West Jersey. 

At a " Called Court," held July 5, 1679, for the Whore- 
hill, on the Delaware, an order was made granting a quietus 
to an administration.'^ 

A NEWARK RECORD OF SOME WILLS. 

In the Newark Town Book — a miscellaneous record, chiefly 
of the division of the home lots among the first settlers, later 
conveyances, bills of sale, etc., 16S9-172S — there are nine wills 
recorded, under the certificate of John Browne, town clerk, as 
to their correctness. 

The first is that of Richard Lawrence, "belonging to the 
Towne of Newark in East Jersey," witnessed by John Ward 

1 E. J. Wills, Liber 3, p. 111. It will be observed that Obacliah Winter's will 
bore date March 1, 1675. His bereaved widow proved the will and took out letters 
of administration on April 19, 1675. Eight days later the Governor issued a mar- 
riage license for William Taylor and Margaret Winter, alias Graybum, widow 
of Obadiah Winter. The "funeral baked meats" did scarce "colflZy furnish forth 
the marriage tables," in this case.

of the instrument: "Witness sworn before me this 30th of

This will was subsequently probated, in solemn form, Ma\'

Camp were witnesses, besides the three named above. 

The will of Michaill Tompkins, " of Newark in the Gov- 
ernment of New England," had three witnesses. The proof 
reads thus :

FIRST NEW JERSEY LEGISLATION AS TO WILLS. XXXvii 

1694, and filed and recorded at Perth Amboy,i but the inven- 
tory was recorded in the Newark Town Book. 

FIRST NEW JERSEY LEGISLATION REGARDING WILLS. 

The "Concessions and Agreements of the Proprietors, 
Freeholders and Inhabitants of the Province of West New 
Jersey, in America," di'.ted March 3, 1676-7, contained among 
the common law or fundamental rights of that province care- 
ful provisions "for securing Estates of Persons that die, and 
taking care of Orpiians," the first clause of wliich made this 
regulation regarding the probate of wills: 

"If any person or persons die, the commissioners are to 
take care tliat the will of the deceased be duly performed, and 
security given by those that prove the will : And that all wills or 
testaments be registered in a public register appointed for that 
purpose, and the person and persons that prove the same, to 
bring in one true inventory under their hands of all the estate 
of the deceased, and to have a warrant under the hands of 
three commissioners, and the publick seal of the province, in- 
timating that they have brought in an inventory of the estate, 
and given security. Then and not before, are they to dispose 
upon the estate. "~ 

This was embodied in a statute passed at a session of the 
"General Free Assembly of the Province of West New Jersey, 
in America," held at Burlington, November 31-2S, 16S1, as 
follows : 

"XI. That when any person or persons die, and have made 
a will and were in a capacity of so doing, the Governor, and 
commissioners, for the time being, are to take care that the 
will of the deceased be duly performed, and securitv given by 
him or them that prove the will; and that all wills ancT 
testaments, be registered in a publick register appointed for 
tliat purpose ; and that the person or persons, who shall prove 
the same, sliall bring in one true inventory, under the hands of 
two or more appraisers, of all the estate of the deceased, and 
shall have a warrant or license, under the hand of three justices 

1 E. J. Deeds, Liber E, p. 165. The original will is now in the offlco of the Sec- 
retary of State at Trenton.

for the time being, under the publick seal of the province, in- 
timating and dechiring, that he or they have brought in an 
inventory of the estate, and given security for tlie true perfor- 
mance of the will, then and not before, he or they may enter 
upon and dispose of the estate. "^ 

The East Jersey Assembly enacted March 21, 16S2-3 : 

"XX. That all wills in writing, attested by two credible 
witnesses, shall be of the same force to convey lands, as other 
conveyance being registered in the Secretaries office within 
this Province, within forty days after the testator's death. "^ 

An act of March 13, 169S-9, slightly modified this provision 
as follows : 

" All wills in writing and attested by three or more cred- 
ible witnesses shall be of the same force to convey lands as 
other conveyances, being proved and registered in the publick 
records, within sixty days after the testator's death. And in 
case of neglect the executor, or executors shall be liable to ci- 
tation, and fined two shillings for each citation, and eighteen 
pence for each fine."^ 

JURISDICTION OF THE GOVERNOR AND COUNCIL. 

It will be observed that the authority to take proofs of wills 
and inventories artxj appraisements was usually exercised by 
someone designated for the purpose by the Governor. In some 
cases, however, original jurisdiction was exercised by the Gov- 
ernor and Council, as the following extracts from their records 
will show : 

March 3, 16S2-3 ; "Lawrence Andress tendring the ad- 
m'istracon of James Bollens Estate appraism* and sale might

xl JURISDICTION OF THE GOVERNOR AND COUNCIL. 

Feb. 29, 1683-4: "The petic'on of Jonas Wood of Eliz'^

Deceased was indebted to him — That he and W™ Broadwell 
Entred into bond after Taylors Death to Admi'ster his Estate —

life tyme hee rec'^ about 30^ and noe more — after hearing of 
both ])''tyes it's ordered that Admi'strac'on be granted to tlie

October 30, 16S6: "James Scott (sonn of George Scott 
of Picklockey late of the Kingdom of Scotland Deceased) 
came before this Councill being a Minor and made choyse off 
m»" John Johnstone and m'' George Willox to bee his Guardi- 
ans — who were admitted accordingly — They giveing in suffi- 
cient security to bee accomptable to the s'^ James Scott when 
hee shall attaine to the age of one and Twenty yeares — "^ 

Abel Porter, jun., of Boston, having died on the voyage 
from Scotland to East Jersey, his widow obtained letters of 
administration, March 4, 1685-6, from the Court of Suffolk 
county, Mass., and on April 23 following was also granted 
similar letters by the Governor of East Jersey.^ 

When the will (dated 23d 9th mo. 16S3) of Richard Lep- 
pincott, of Monmouth county, was offered for probate, Jan. 
2, 16S3-4, a special commission was appointed by the Gov- 
ernor to examine the vv^idow, Al)igail Lippincott, in refer- 
ence to the instrument,'* instead of having the matter adjudi- 
cated by a Deputy Surrogate, or by a Court. 

The Governor frequently asserted his authority over the 
persons and estates of infants. When Hanse Harmen'^en, of 
Constaple's Point, Bergen county, by a codicil, dated Oct. 19, 
1700, appointed guardians over his grandson, an order was

made by the Governor, Dec. 3, 1701, confirming the appoint- 
ment.' On the same day he admitted two persons as guardians 
of George Darling, of Woodbridge.- 

He exercised hke power over insane persons, as when 
(February 15, 1692-3) he appointed the wife and daughter 
(and the husband of the latter) of Samuel Hooton as his 
guardians, the said Hooton being " rendred uncapable to act 
through a distemper of lunacy. "^ 

PREROGATIVE JURISDICTION. 

As the jurisdiction of the Governor of New Jersey and the 
Governors of East and West Jersey, respectively, extended 
over the v/hole of their several governments, their powers as 
Ordinar}' were sulficient for controlling the administration of 
estates within tlieir domains, and a will, administration or 
guardianship, proved or grar^ted by the Governor or a surro- 
gate appointed by him was valid, without regard to where the 
goods lay. 4 

The prerogative of the Archbishop of Canterbury wss oc- 
casionally called into requisition, as in the following instances: 

The Rev. John Allen, the settled minister at Woodbridge, 
having died in the latter part of 1683, letters of administration 
were granted to his son John, by the Archbishop of Canter- 
bury, April 15, 16S5. The instrument, which is in Latin, de- 
scribes the residence of the deceased as being " the Island of 
New Jersey."^ The venerable prelate had a better knowledge 
of his prerogative than of the geography of America. 

Edward Barker, of London, made his will, August 30, 
1686, in which he named his father and his father-in-law, both 
of London, executors. He had debts due him in America, 
and on his death his executors obtained letters of administra- 
tion, with will annexed, from the Archbishop of Canterbury .*J

xlii DEPUTY SURROGATES. 

Hugh Buchanan, of Bristol, England, mariner, married the 
widow Jeane Wilke, of the same place, to whom in i6S8 was 
devised a large tract of land on Alloways creek, Salem county. 
Her husband died in Barbados, in the West Indies. She mar- 
ried again, Sept. 15, 1696, Benjamin Burgesse, at Bristol, and 
on October 15, 1697, she took out letters of administration from 
the Archbishop of Canterbury on the estate of her late husband 
in New Jersey. 1 

^ DEPUTY SURROGATES. 

Instances have been cited showing that the proofs of wills 
and inventories were frequently made before persons author- 
ized by the Governor to act in his absence. 

Thomas Gordon was the first person duly appointed Surro- 
gate for East Jersey, his commission being dated March 8, 
1693-4. He was again appointed December iS, 1700. From 
an instrument dated July 31, 1694, it appears that his formal 
title was "commissioner for taking the probate of last 
wills." By that instrument he certified that a certain person 
had properly administered an estate.^ 

NUNCUPATIVE WILLS. 

Notwithstanding the statute of 39 Chas. II., cap. 3, herein- 
before recited, requiring wills to be in writing, witnessed by 
three persons, nuncupative or spoken wills were admitted to 
probate in Colonial times, there being at least twenty-eight of 
such wills noted in this volume. For some reason, not appar- 
ent on the surface, this form of will was more usual in West 
Jersey than in East Jersey. Of the twenty-eight wills men- 
tioned, fifteen were in Salem county, four in Gloucester, three 
in Burlington, and one in Cape May — a total of twenty-three 
in West Jersey. Of the other five, two were in Middlesex, 
two in Monmouth and one in Essex. In point of time, they 
range from 16S5 to 1724- 

Naturally, these nuncupative wills were usually the dying 
declarations of the testators expressing their wishes as to the

disposition of their property. Generally, they were oflcrcd for 
proliate within a few days. Sometimes the family did not wait 
for the death before taking the preliminary steps to administer 
upon the estate, as in the case of Caleb Carman, senior, of 
Burlington county, whose will was uttered August 5, 1693, at- 
tested before Joseph Houldin and Samuel Crowell, Justices, by 
affidavit of John Gervis and Caleb Carman, leaving all to his 
wife Elizabeth. His estate had been inventoried a month be- 
fore, or on July 7, Letters of administration were granted to 
his widow, August 16.^ 

There was a singular confusion over the v/ill of John Denn, 
of Allawayes Creek, who died at or before June 24, 1685, hav- 
ing " spoken" his will before George Deacon, Commissioner, 
that he gave his whole estate to his widow for life, with re- 
mainder to his children. Administration was granted to his 
widow. May 3, 16S6, by five Justices, but on February 1^5 fol- 
lowing three of the Justices entered a notice that these letters 
of administration were granted " thoroe the Mistake of Wil- 
liam Wilkinson Clark to y<^ s'^ Court there being a Nuncupa- 
tive Will proved. Therefore y*' s'^ aforcs'^i p^'ceedings are null 
and voyd b}' judgm'' of Court. "'- 

Two witnesses swore, June i, 16S9, that on May 4, 16S9, 
they had heard Marcus Lawrence, of Putshack, Gloucester 
county, say that he had sent for John Taylor to write his will, 
but feeling that he should speedily die he asked his wife if she 
would stay with his children ; she desiring to consult with her 
own son, he appointed three friends to manage his whole es- 
tate and divide it between his wife and two children. 

Haunce Sheiahel, of Penn's Neck, Salem county, planter, 
chose, of all places, to "speak" his will at the wedding of 
Nicholas Philpot, before three witnesses, but it was not until 
May 12, 1692, that administration on liis estate was granted 
and an inventory taken.' 

The estate of Moses Huestis, of Amwelbury, Salem county, 
was inventoried 15th of 9th mo. (November), 1694; his will 
was spoken the next day J

2 Salem Wills, Liber No. 2, pp. 20, 24. ■» .Salem Wills, Liber A, p. 132. 



xliv NUNCUPATIVE WILLS. 

Sometimes these spoken wills were proved by the oaths of 
two witnesses, but the nuncupative will of Andrew Howman, 
of Rapahaking, Gloucester, made September, 1700, was sub- 
stantiated by the affidavits of five witnesses, who moreover de- 
clared that " ther might at Least a dozen more be pro- 
cured." 

The scrivener who took down the will of Christopher 
VVetherill, of Mansfield township, Burlington county, March 
25, 1711, certifies that "The within written Wass Taken in 
Wrighting from the Testators mouth y® Very Substance of all 
Deuise Butt Nott in forme," and the will was admitted to pro- 
bate April 6, 171 1. 1 

John Pentlen, of Monmouth county, uttered his will on 
June 23, 1 719, and John McDowell swore that a few days and 
then again a few hours before his death Pentlen had said he 
wished Henry Ross and family to have what he left. His per- 
sonal estate was inventoried the same day by Adam Hude and 
the said McDowell.- 

"letters testimonial." 

In a number of instances in the early records of wills it is 
stated that " letters testimonial " were Issued. From the fol- 
lowing, it would seem that the expression is used where letters 
'of administration were granted with will annexed, although in 
this particular case the letters were issued to the executor 
named in the will. The meaning of the expression seems to 
be, that lettei's were issued to the executor or administrator as 
a testimonial (i. e., in testimony) of his authority to act. 

" To all Christian people & others whatsoever to whom 
these our Letters Testimoniall shall come, or whom the prem- 
ises shall or may Concerne The governor & proprietors of the

the probate of wills in the provincial era. 

The memorial of the Proprietors of the Province of East 
New Jersey to the Lords of Trade in regard to the proposed 
surrender of the Government to the Crown suggested that 
among the rights and privileges that should be confirmed to 
the proprietors and planters respectively, in the event of the 
surrender, was the following : 

" XL That all Wills of Persons dying within East- Jersey, 
and Letters of Administration of Estates Iving there, may be 
made and granted by the chief Judge of East-Jersey for the Time 
being, who is to reside there, and a Register thereof kept at

xlvi PROBATE OF WILLS IN THE PROVINCIAL ERA. 

West Jersey to the Crown, and the appointment of Lord Corn- 
bury as Governor, in his instructions, dated November i6, 
1703, the probate of wills was exjDressly reserved to him as 
Governor and the commander-in-chief of the province for the 
time being. The precise language was this: 

" 75. And to the end the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the 
said lord bishop of London, may take place in our said prov- 
ince so far as conveniently may be, we do think fit that you 
give all countenance and encouragement to the exercise of the 
same, excepting only the collating to benefices, granting 
licenses for marriages, and probate of ivilh^ which we have 
reserved to you our governor and the commander in chief of 
our said province for the time being." ^ 

Thus the Governor " was not only ordinary, but metropol- 
itan of the province. He had no superior but the queen in 
council. ~ His court was called the prerogative court, an appel- 
lation applied in England to the archbishop's court. Nor had 
he any subordinates ; his jurisdiction over these subjects was 
sole and exclusive. This constitution of the court continued 
till the revolution, and was adopted by the convention which 
framed the constitution of the state in seventeen hundred and 
seventy-six. For one hundred and forty years the governor or 
ordinary was tlie only judge of probate known to the constitu- 
tion of New Jersey. 

" But at an earl}' day the provincial governors, for their 
own and the people's convenience, appointed deputies, with 
the name of surrogates, residing in different parts of the prov- 
ince, to act in their stead, upon such cases as the people chose 
to submit to them. Sometimes there were more than one in a 
county, sometimes only one for two or three counties. They 

1 Learning and Spicer, 309; N. J. Archives, II., 529. 

2 "Until the revolution this power continued in and was exercised by the gov- 
ernor. No appeal was ever given from the governor's testamentary proceedings, 
except an appeal which existed from the highest colonial courts to the king in 
council." See Anthony v. Anthony, Court of Errors and Appeals, 1846, 5 N. J. 
Eq. (1 Halst. Ch.), 627; citing Griffith's Law Keg.. 1178, 1179, 1185. 

"It is admitted, and is indisputable, that from the surrender of the proprie- 
tary government to Queen Anne, in 170-3, to the present time, neither this court 
nor its provincial prototype, has ever claimed any supervision over the decrees of 
the prerogative court." Beasley, Ch. J., in Harris v. Vanderveer's Ex'r., Court of 
Errors and Appeals, 18C9, 21 N. J. Eq. (6 C. E. Gr.) , 436. 



THE governor's SURROGATES. xlvii 

were mere deputies, subject to the control and supervision of 
the ordinary, and to be removed at his pleasure. By appoint- 
ing them the ordinary did not in the least curtail his own juris- 
diction. Whilst he lieltl appellate jurisdiction of their acts, his 
own orij^inal jurlsiliction remaiuci^i entire. 

" These surrt)gates did not hold to the ordinary the relation 
which the English ordinaries hokl to their metropolitan. The 
English ordinary has exclusive jurisdiction wdiere the goods of 
the deceased are all situated in his diocese ; and the metropol- 
itan has exclusive jurisdiction where notable goods are situated 
in two or more dioceses. No relation of this kind subsisted 
between the ordinary and surrogates of New Jersey. The 
ordinary retained jurisdiction of all cases. The surrogate, act- 
ing as his deputy, had also jurisdiction of all cases submitted 
to him, unless some special restriction were inserted in his 
commission. New Jersey was never subdivided into dioceses. 
The doctrine of bona notabilia had never any place here. 

"■ The power of the ordinary to appoint these officers, seems 
never to have been questioned. Their acts were recognized by 
the courts, and they came to be considered as lawful and com- 
petent judges of the matters submitted to their cognizance."^ 

Governor Cornbury arrived in New York, May 3, 1702, to 
assume the government of that Province. His commission as 
Governor of New Jersey, dated December 5, 1703, did not 
reach him until July 39, 1703, and on August 10, 1703, he 
proceeded to his new government, and published his commis- 
sion at Perth Amboy on the nth, and at Burlington on the 
13th. ~ He took the proofs of wills personally, in New York, in 
some cases of New Jersey wills, by the oaths of one or more of 
the subscribing witnesses. In other cases he granted letters of 
administration on the certificate of two justices that the wills had

"The jurisdiction of the governor as the ordinary of New Jersey, before the 
revolution and since, extended throughout the state, and a will, administration 
or guardianship proved or granted by himself or a surrogate, (and he appointed 
as many as he chose to do,) was valid, without regard to the place where the goods 
lay. Hence he possessed the prerogative powers of the ecclesiastical jurisdic- 
tion, in these particulars."— 4 Griffith's Law Reg., 1185-6.

been proved before them. About September, 1702, he appoint- 
ed Dr. John Bridges, of New York, to act as his surrogate in tak- 
ing the proofs of wills, inventories, etc.i Some time after, or on 
February 28, 1703-4, he appointed a surrogate to act for him "to 
administer oaths to persons suing out letters of administra- 
tion," etc., in New Jersey, his choice for the office being 
Thomas Revell,^ a favorite of his Lordship then and after- 
wards, and living at Burlington, where he kept the Secretary's 
office of the Province, being also Register of the West Jersey 
Proprietors. He instituted the system of keeping the records 
of wills, administrations and guardianships in books provided 
exclusively for those purposes. Although the two Divisions or 
Provinces of East Jersey and West Jersey were now united 
into a single Province, under one Governor, the precedent fol- 
lowed for twenty years or more was not easily to be disregard- 
ed, and as the land records of the two Divisions were still kept 
in separate offices — at Burlington and Perth Amboy — so sep- 
arate sets of books were provided for the records of wills, etc., 
those for East Jersey being numbered, while letters were used 
to designate those for West Jersey. The first record of the 
probate of a will in New Jersey under Lord Cornbury is 
found in East Jersey Wills, Liber No. i, page i, in the office 
of the Secretary of State, whither the records of conveyances 
and wills, in the Proprietors' offices at Burlington and Pertli 
Amboy, were transferred when the State capital was finally 
located at Trenton, in 1790. This interesting probate record 
is as follows : 

" Edward Vicount Cornbury Captain Generall and Gouv- 
erno^ in Chief, in and over y'' Province of Nova Cesarea 
New Yorke. 

1 John Bridges exhibited the inventory of the estate of Judah Samuel, of New 
York, September 2, 170'2. The will of William Giles was proved before John 
Bridges, Doctor of Laws, September 16, 1703. The will of John Symkam was 
proved before Lord Cornbury in New York, February 21. l70'2-3. By order of the 
Queen, August 8, 1702, Governor Cornbury appointed Bridges to the office of Chief 
Justice of New York, in April, 1703. The will of Nathaniel Pearsall. a Quaker- 
was proved before John Bridges, Secretary, March 3, 1703-4. In a letter of No- 
vember 6, 170-1, Lord Cornbury mentions the death of Dr. Bridges. Nowhere is he 
designated as surrogate, but he evidently acted as such for the Governor. — N. T.

INCONVENIENCES IN PROBATING WILLS. 

In a remonstrance of the Assembly of New Jersey to Lord 
Cornbury, May 5, 1707, among the evils enumerated by them 
as existing in the administration was this : 

" The only Office for Probate of Wills being in Burling- 
ton, it must be very expensive and inconvenient for Persons, 
who live remote, especially for the whole Eastern Division.

I INCONVENIENCES IN PROBATING WILLS. 

We therefore pray the Governour to assent to an Act to settle 
such an Office in every County or at least In each Division of 
this Province, and that the Officers may be men of Good Es- 
tates and known Integrity in the said County or Division. "^ 

Lord Cornbury replied at great length, May 12, 1707, to 
the bitter attacks of the Assembly, and on the subject of the 
probate office had this to say : 

" The office of Probate of wills, is wherever the Governor 
is, Consequently not at Burlington only. Ever Since the Qiieen 
has done me the honour to Entrust me with the Government of 
this province I have never failed of being in the Province twice 

every year, once at Burlington and once at Amboy 

I was twise in Amboy last yeare, where anybody that had a 
Will to prove, might have had it done if they had pleased. Be- 
sides my being twice every year in the Province Considering 
the Remoteness of Cape May County and the County of Salem, 
I did appoint a Surrogate at Burlington'- before whome any of 
the Inhabitants of Either Division might have had their Wills 
proved, I did not think it Necessary to appoint one in the East- 
ern Division, because the Inhabitants of that Division who are 
most Remote from New Yorke are within a very easy days 
Journey of my Surrogate at Burlington, and much the Major 
part of the people of that Division are within a small day's 
Journey of New Yorke, where their private affairs dayly calls 
many of them, and where any of them may have their wills 
proved without any Injury to or Incroachment upon their Prop- 
erties, Rights or privileges. 3 

The House retorted in this vein, on October 29, 1707 : 

"We thought the only office for probate of Wills was at 
Burlington, but your Excellcy has Convinct us that it is wher- 
ever your Excelly is, and Consequently may be at Yorke, Al- 
bany, the East end Long Island, or in Connecticut or New 
England, or any place more remote Should your Excellency

Vouchsafes to treat the assembly of this Province they are of

Remote Counties of that Province was Impowered to Take the 
Examination of witnesses to any Will within their Respective

Judges of the Severall Courts in those Remote County's Im-

soever. "i 

The Governor and the Assembly were at swords' points on 
this and every other matter of administration, and nothing came 
of this demand for better probate facilities in the Province, dur- 
ing his time. 

When Lord Lovelace was appointed Governor of the Prov- 
ince to succeed Lord Cornbury, the Lords of Trade, in send- 
ing him her Majesty's instructions, on June 38, 170S, referred 
to this complaint of the New Jersey Assembly, commenting 
favorably upon the remonstrance, in the following language : 

"'Tis true that the probate of Wills and Granting of Let- 
ters of Administration, is by Her Majesty, entrusted with the 
Governor; Yet we do not see that the settling such an office 
in each Division in New Jersey, as proposed by the Remon- 
strance for the Ease of Her Majesty's Subjects there will be 
a lessning of the Rights of Prerogative, or of the Governor. "~ 

Lord Lovelace lived too short a time to carry out the pro- 
posed reform, but his successor. Colonel Robert Hunter, ac- 
ceded to the wishes of the people."^ After the custom of the 
day, the Grand Jury for the Counties of Middlesex and Somer- 
set, at the sessions held at Perth Amboy, the fourth Tuesday in 
May, 1 71 2, adopted an address to the Governor, commending 
his administration for several of his acts, among them : 

last wills and testaments, and the granting of letters of administration on intes- 
tate estates, are committed to the Governor, who acts ordinarily by a delegate." —

ern Division of the Province of New Jersey, each of tiiem to 
have all powers and authorities to the said office belonging, 
and to hold the same during the will and pleasure of the Gov- 
ernor. 

A siniilar commission was granted by him the same day to 
Charles Read, John Smyth and Jonathan Doane, of the City 
of Perth Amboy, Anthony White and James Hude, Junr., 
of the City of New Brunswick, Robert Ogden of Elizabeth 
Town, Uzal Ogden and Lewis Ogden of Newark, John 
Sobrisco (Zabriskie) of the County of Bergen, Jacob Dennis 
and Samuel Leonard of the County of Monmouth, appointing 
them and each of them surrogates of the Prerogative Court in 
the Eastern Division of the Province of New Jersey, to hold 
the same during liis will and pleasure.' 

ROYAL ENCROACHMENT ON THE GOVERNOR'S PRERGGA.TIVE. 

Although by tlie instructions given from time to tin:ie to the 
several Governors of New Jersey they were vested with full 
power in the matter of the probate of wills, etc., and by vir- 
tue of that power had been in the habit of appointing their own 
surrogates, an important departure from this practice occurred 
v.'hen Maurice Morgann was granted a patent by the King, 
under the Great Seal of Great Britain, bearing date at West- 
minster, June iS, ^767, for the offices of " vSecretary, Clerk 
of the Council, Clerk of the Supreme Court, Clerk of the 
Pleas, Surrogate and keeper and register of records, in the 
Colony of Nova Ca^sarea or New Jersey in America," to have, 
hold, exercise and enjoy the said offices unto him by himself or 
his sufficient deputy or deputies, for whom he should be an- 
swerable, during the royal pleasure. Morgann was evidently the 
protege of some court favorite. He resided in Parlia.v.ent 
street, Westminster, London, and not being disposed to re« 
linquish the pleasures of London life, he appointed Joseph 
Reed, Jr., (afterwards Washington's Adjutant-General) to be 
his deputy in said offices during the pleasure of the said Mor- 

1 N. J. Archives, IX., 359-360. 



Ivi THE GOVERNOR SUBMITS. 

gann.i This instrument bears date June 27, 1767' Reed quali- 
fied October 10, 1767, before Charles Read, one of the Jus- 
tices of the Supreme Court of New Jersey .^ TJiis seems a lit- 
tle singular in view of the fact that Charles Read at this time 
held the office of Register of the Prerogative Court, by appoint- 
ment of Governor Franklin. 

At a meeting of the Governor and his Council, of whom 
Charles Read was one, at Burlington, November 13, 1767, 
Joseph Reed produced an exemplification of the commission 
of Maurice Morgann as Clerk of the Council, and the instru- 
ment under the hand and seal of the said Maurice Morgann ap- 
pointing Reed as Deputy, and qualified and was admitted as 
Deputy Clerk. The Governor then acquainted the Council 
that Reed had made a claim, as Deputy Secretary and Regis- 
ter of the Province, for the seals and records of the Preroga- 
tive Court, and had requested the Governor as Judge of the 
said court to deliver them to him ; that a claim of the said 
office of Register of the Prerogative Court was also made by 
Charles Read, and as the welfare and interest of the province 
greatly depended upon the due regulation of the said court 
and its offices, liis Excellency prayed the advice of the Coun- 
cil thereon. The next day the Governor stated that Charles 
Read had agreed that if an order under the seal of the Prerog- 
ative Court was produced to him, he would deliver up the 
records of the Prerogative Court to the person therein appoint- 
ed to receive them, saving to himself the right of further 
■prosecuting his claim if he should think it expedient. The 
Council thereupon thought it unnecessary to consider farther 
the merits of the claims, but advised the Governor to issue such 
order and to transact the business of the Court with the said 
Joseph Reed in the usual and accustomed manner. ^ 

The Governor naturally disliking to provoke a controversy 
with the royal appointing power complacently issued a com- 
mission to Joseph Reed, November 19, 1767, in which, after 
referring to the royal letters patent, he added: "Whereas, 

1 Joseph Reed, junior. sHidied law in the Middle Temple, London, from 
December, 1763, until the spring of .1765.— iJeecJ's Reed, I., 28. It was probably 
through friendships formed there and then that he secured this appointment.

SOME PROVINCIAL ACTS. Ivii 

Executors and Administrators, and their Accounts to State, 
Examine and xApp'ove, allow and discharge and Qiiietus Est 
thereupon to give and grant, and generally to do execute and 
perform all such Acts and things as to the said Office of Sur- 
rogate " did belong and appertain, so long as he should continue 
as such deputy under tlie said Maurice Morgann under the ap- 
pointment aforesaid, saving and reserving nevertlieless as 
Ordinary of the said Province " all Judicial power in Contro- 
verted Cases, according to the Usage and Custom of the said 
Province."' 

This act of the King, in appointing to so important an 
office a person who never intended to administer its duties in 
person, but only by a deputy, v/hiie he reaped the emoluments 
and spent them three thousand miles away, following so close- 
ly after the Stamp Act, was another of those irksome exercises 
of authority that made more restive an already dissatisfied 
people. 

SOME PROVINCIAL ACTS. 

Among the very few acts passed by the Legislature, before 
the Revolution, having any relation to the administration of 
estates, was the following, passed March 17, 1713-14: 

An act confirming Letters of Administration, granted, and 
to be granted within this Province. 

Sect. i. Whereas Her Sacred Majesty hath reserved to 
her respective Governors or Commanders in Chief of this her 
Colony of New- Jersey, the Collating to Benefices, granting 
Licenses for Marriages, Probates of Wills, and granting Let- 
ters of Administration, 

2. Be it therefore enacted, etc., That all Letters of 
Administration that heretofore have been granted by the pres-

being then in New Jersey, appointed Charles Pettit, who was a deputy under 
Reed, to succeed the latter as his deputy in the offices of Secretary of the Prov- 
ince, Clerk of the Council, Cleric of the Supreme Court, Clerk of the Pleas. Sur- 
rogate and Keeper and Register of the Records of the Province, etc.; revoking, at 
the sancie time, the previous appointment of Reed.— iV. J". Arehive.-^, X., 132. It is 
probable that Reed"s personal affairs and his law practice now demanded all his 
time, and that the appointment of his successor was made at his request, Mr. 
Pettit having married his half-sister.— 7i'^e<i(','< /iwcZ. I., 40. No other mention of 
Mr. Morgann has been found in the records.

any other Person or Persons that heretofore have been em- 
powered to grant the same, or that hereafter shall be granted 
within this Colony by the present or any succeeding Governor 
or Commander in Chief, or by any Person or Persons empow- 
ered by him or them, all such Letters of Administration here- 
tofore granted, or hereafter to be granted by the Authority 
aforesaid, shall only be, and are hereby declared to be, and at 
all Times hereafter shall be taken, deemed and esteemed to be

of them respectively, and shall not be Superseded or Reversed 
by any other Administration whatsoever, granted, or to be 
granted, for Estates within this Colony, excepting by such Ad- 
ministration as shall be granted by the Authority aforesaid.' 

'' An Act for the speedy recovery of legacies," etc., 
passed July 8, 1730? provided that legatees might sue or 
prosecute an action of debt or detinue for sucii legacy, after it 
should become due ; if it amoimted to the value of twenty 
pounds or upvv'ards, in the Supreme Court of the province or 
any other court of record ; if upwards of forty shillings and un- 
der twenty pounds, in any of the courts of common pleas ; if of 
the value of fort}^ shillings or under, before any justice of the 
peace. The respective courts where said actions might be 
commenced, upon tlie plea of want of assets to pay all the 
debts of the legacies, were directed to appoint auditors to ex- 
amine the accounts of the executors, who, after full hearing, 
with due notice to all parties, should procure the auditors afore- 
said to report how the accounts of the executors stood, and the 
court was then authorized to award execution upon the judg- 
ment to be had in the suit for the proportion of assets that 
ought to go towards paying the legacies ; and the court was 
also authorized to correct and amend any mistakes or errors 
that might happen in the accounts so reported. Provision was 
likewise made for a reasonable demand to be first made of the 
executor or executors before any such suit could be maintained, 
and also for giving to the executors a refunding bond. The act

was to remain in force for a limited time, before the expiration 
of which it was continued forever, by another act passed March 

'5- 1738-9-' 

This act was repealed and replaced by " An Act for the 
more speedy Recovery of Legacies in this Province, and for 
affirming such xA-cts of Administrators bona Fide done before 
Notice of a Will," passed March 11, 1774. This authorized 
suits for legacies amounting to the value of .£15 or upwards to 
be brought in the Supreme Court, or any other court of record, 
and made some other slight changes in the previous statute. - 
The act was further slightly modified in tiie revision of 
March 37, iS74.'" 

FEES OF THE PREROOATIVE OFFICE. 

Soon after Lord Cornbnry's accession as Governor of New 
Jersey he, with tlie advice of his Council, drew up and pub- 
lished " An Ordinance for Establishing Courts of Judica- 
ture."^ The resolution of tlie Council for establishing the 
Courts mentioned in tlie Ordinance was adopted August iS, 
1703'' The Ordinance was printed by William Bradford, at 
New York, in 1704? making four pages folio. '^ 

In this connection. Lord Cornbury also prescribed the fees 
for services rendered in the several Courts, and these were pul)-

Anew "Ordinance for Regulating & Establishing Fees

WILLS AS CONV'EYANCES OF LANDS. 

Mention has been made (p. xxxviii, ante) of acts passed in 
16S3 and 1699, providing that wills in writing, duh' witnessed, 
and registered in the public records, should be of the same force 
to convey lands as other conveyances. To the same end was 
this more elaborate act passed March 17, 1713-14: 

"An Act for confirming of Conveyances of lands made and 
to be made by Wills and Powers of Attorney, and declaring 
what Exemplifications of Records and other Things shall be 
holden and received for good Evidence of Estates of Iniierit- 
ance, and for Transfering of Uses into possession. 

" Sect. I. Whereas on and several Years after the first Set- 
tlement of this Colony, the great distance of Plantations, and 
scarcity of Inhabitants was such, that it was difficult to get 
more than two Witnesses to be present at the Signing, Seal- 
ing and Acknowledging of Last Wills and Testaments, v/hich 
induced the then Legislature of the Province of East-Jersey, 
now the Eastern-Division of this Province, in the Year One 
Thousand Six Hundred and Eighty Two, to make a Law de- 
claring, that all Wills in Writing, attested by two credible Wit- 
nesses, shall be of the same force to convey lands as other Con- 
veyances. 

"And whereas Pursuant to the said Law, many Wills have

Testator, and attested only by two subscribing Witnesses. 

'•2. Be it therefo7'e Enacted by the Governor, Council and 
General Assembly, and by the Authority of the same. That all 
last Wills and Testaments heretofore made in Writing, signed 
by the Testator, In Presence of two subscribing Witnesses, and 
proved according to the Custom heretofore used in either tlie 
Eastern or Western-Divisions of this Province, by which any 
Lands, Tenements or Hereditaments have been given, devised 
or bequeathed unto any Person or Persons whatsoever, every 
of the said last Wills and Testaments shall, at all times hereaf- 
ter, be held, taken, deemed and esteemed as good, valid and 
sufficient Title in the Law, to all Intents, Constructions and 
Purposes, as if the Testator had conveyed the same away in his 
Life-Time, and shall forever bar any Person or Persons claim- 
ing or to claim Estate under any such Testator, contrary to th- 
true Intent and Meaning of such Will and Testament; and the 
said Will being proved as aforesaid^ and the Rooks of Regis- 
ters of either of the Eastern or Western-Divisions of this Prov- 
ince in which they were entered, being proved as aforesaid, 
may be given, and shall be received in Evidence, any Law or 
Custom to the contrary notwithstanding. 

"3. And be it Enacted by the authority aforesaid^ That 
all Wills and Testaments which hereafter shall be made in 
some doubts have arisen on the said Appointment and on the 
Power of the said Maurice Morgann to make a Deputy as to

ty's Gracious Intentions in the said Patent expressed may have

theretofore granted to surrogates in said province, giving him 
full power and authority in the stead and place of the Gover- 
nor, " to swear or Affirm the witnesses to Last Wills and Tes-

Ixiv A COMPLICATED ADMINISTRATION. 

This act impressed upon landowners the importance of hav- 
ing wills recorded, in case they devised lands. 

A COMPLICATED ADMINISTRATION. 

The limitations of the Prerogative Court in administeriuii: 
upon an insolvent estate in the early days find an illustration in 
tlie following case: Captain John Bowne, of Mattawan, Mid- 
dletown, Monmouth county, made his will, September 14, 
1 714. After making a number of bequests, among others to 
William Hartshorne's oldest children, he gave the rest of his 
real and personal property to his brothers, Obadiah Bowne 
and Richard Salter, whom he also appointed executors. Tue 
will was proved April 11, 1716. The personal estate was ap- 
praised at £16,982,5.0, mostly in book debts. Owing to cer- 
tain difficulties in settling up the estate, the Legislature, on 
March 27, 1719, passed "An Act to enforce the due Adminis- 
tration of the Estate of Captain John Bowne, deceased, late of 
the County of Monmouth." Obadiah received his share of 
the residue, and left a wilU proved April 25, 1726. The book- 
debts due John's estate proved uncollectible, and Hartshorne's 
heirs failing to receive what they considered to be coming to 
them filed a bill in chancery to compel Richard Saltar, the sur- 
viving executor, to pay. A decree was given in their favor, a 
copy served on the defendant and demand made for the money, 
which, however, was not paid. The Hartshornes thereupon 
applied to the Governor and Council, February i, 1727-S, for 
leave to put in suit Saltar's bond given for the administration 
of Bowne's estate, in order for the recovery of the money de- 
creed. An order was made for Saltar to show cause accord- 
ingly the following Monday. On that day, February 7, 1727-S, 
Saltar petitioned the Governor and Council to have the bond 
given by his co-executor, Obadiah Bowne, to pay the half of 
the debts and legacies due by tiie estate of John Bowne, put in 
suit. Both sides were heard, and an order was then made that 
a copy of the bond be given to Saltar that the same might be put 
in suit in the Supreme Court, and in case of judgment thereon

the Supreme Court should " Direct by proper rules that the 
Execut"^ from tiirie to tiuie on Such Judgment Shall only Issue 
for what Shall be Justly Incumbend on the Obligors to pay 
and that by directing the Auditing of Accounts & takeing Such 
other methods as Shall be agreable to Equity & Justice." A 
like order was made in the case of the Ilartshornes, legatees 
of John Bowne, and Lawrence, one of the creditors of said 
Bowne, and the executors of Obadiah Bowne, against Richard 
Saltar, surviving executor of John Bowne, and the joint oblig- 
ors with him.i These proceedings are interesting, as show- 
ing the cumbersome and expensive method of administering 
upon tlie estate. The aid of virtually three courts was invoked 
to adjudicate the matters at issue. And yet the procedure 
has not been so greatly simplified in the nearly two centuries 
that have since elapsed. 

SPECIAL REMEDIAL ACTS OF THE LEGISLATURE. 

The foregoing instance shows that the Prerogative Court 
lacked many of the powers and functions which have been 
vested in it by wise legislation in later years. The aid of the 
Court of Chancery was often invoked to assist executors and 
administrators in the discharge of their duties, but not infre- 
quently it was found necessary to appeal to the Legislature for 
relief, and we find such acts passed from time to time as these: 

An Act to enable the Executors of Miles Forster, late ot 
Perth Amboy in the County of Middlesex, Merchant, deceased, 
to sell Lands to pay Debts and Legacies, according to the Last 
Will and Testament of the said deceased. Passed March 15, 
1713-14.2 

An Act to enable Sarah Edwards, sole Executrix and late 
Widow of Robert Edwards, deceased, by and with the Con- 
sent of William Cuttler, her present Husband, to make a good 
and lawful Conveyance of a Tract of Land sold by the said 
Robert Edwards in his Life-Time to one Tunis Titus by Arti- 
cles of x^greement, and to receive the Remainder of the Money 
due for the said Lands according to the Last Will and Testa-

GOVERNOR franklin's FINAL ACTS AS ORDINARV. Ixvii 

William Burnet, who arrived in 1719, is said to have been 
partial to that Court, :ind loved to "magnify his oflice " as 
Chancellor, 

governor franklin's FINAL ACTS AS ORDINARY. 

Amid all the excitement and turm-oil of the impending war, 
Governor Franklin went on with his accustonied duties, and 
amonw the probates of wills granted under his signature we 
tind these, down to the last days of his administration : 

Amos Benton, of Sa'em, will dated May 10, 1776; proved 
June 17, 1776, before John Core}' i surrogate; probate granted 
same dav.^ 

John Firth, will dated 30th 4th mo., 1773; proved June 
20, 1776, before John Carey, surrogate; probate granted same 
day.~ 

Josiah Miller, of the township of South Hanover, Morris 
county, will dated Sept. 26, 1775; proved March 15, 1776, 
before Abraham Ogden, surrogate; probate granted same 
day.:^ 

Andrew Miller, of Roxbury. Morris county, will dated 
May 6, 1775; proved March 25, 1776, before Richard Kem- 
ble, surrogate ; probate granted same day.^ 

Letters of administration were granted, June 20, 1776, to 
William Nixon, administrator of the estate of Samuel Hartley, 
late of Salem, deceased.^ 

It is quite evident that these certificates of probate and let- 
ters of administration were signed in blank by the Governor 
and distributed to the surrogates. This would account for the 
palpable anachronism in the two following entries in the 
records : 

Letters of administration were granted by Governor I^rank- 
Iln unto Samuel Jacques, 3d, administrator of the estate of 
Henry Martin, late of Middlesex county, deceased, June 27,

by order of the Provincial Congress, and on June 25 was ordered to be sent to 
Connecticut. He was not in a position to transact any offlcial business after his 
arrest. 



Ixviii UNDER THE STATE GOVERNMENT. 

Letters of administration with will annexed were granted 
on the estate of Peter Sonmans, late of Philadelphia, deceased, 
by Governor Franklin^ September 9, 1776.1 

UNDER THE STATE GOVERNMENT. 

The Constitution of New Jersey, adopted July 2, 1776, 
provided (Sec. VIII) : "That the Governor be Ordinary or 
Surrogate General." And (Sec. IX) : "That the Governor 
and Council (seven whereof shall be a quorum) be the Court 
of Appeals in the last Resort in all Causes of Law as hereto- 
fore." 

"This was never construed to give appeals from the Ordin- 
ary, and the Legislature never provided for taking such appeals. 
Until then, either in England or this country, no appeal had ever 
been given, or been had from the Prerogative or Testamentary 
Courts, to the Courts of Appeal in cases of law or equity."- 

The Convention which adopted the Constitution of 1776 
adopted this resolution on July 4 of that year : 

" Resolved, That, in order to prevent a failure of justice, 
all judges, justices of the peace, sheriffs, coroners, and other in- 
ferior officers of the late government within this Colony, pro- 
ceed in the execution of their several offices, under the author- 
ity of the people, until the intended Legislature and the several 
officers of the new government be settled and perfected, hav- 
ing respect to the present Constitution of New Jersey, as by 
the Congress of late ordained, and the orders of the Continental 
and Provincial Congresses; and that all actions, suits and 
processes be continued, altering only the style and form there- 
of, according to the terms by the said Constitution prescribed, 
in the further prosecution thereof."^

UNDER THE STATE GOVERNMENT. Ixix 

The Legislature enacted, October 2, 1776 : " That the sev- 
eral Courts of Law and Equity of this state shall be confirmed 
and established, and continued to be held with like Powers un- 
der the present Government, and at the same Times and Places, 
as they were held at and before the Declaration of Independ- 
ency lately made by the Honourable the Continental Con- 
gress. "^ 

This raised the question whether the Prerogative Court 
came under eit'ier of the categories within the scope of Sec. 
IX of the Constitution of 1776, or the statute just recited. 
On this point it was finally decided, in 1S69 : 

[" The Prerogative] Court has always been possessed of cer- 
tain branches of jurisdiction which reside in the ecclesiastical 
tribunals in England. Hence, it has ever been regarded as an 
ecclesiastical court, and therefore does not properly come un- 
der the denomination of a Court of Law or Equity."^ 

The Surrogate General v/as, by an act passed October S, 
1778, left at liberty to employ or appoint a deputy or depu- 
ties. ^ 

William Livingston having been elected Governor on Au- 
gust 31, 1776, by the Legislature in joint meeting, accepted, 
and entered upon the duties of that office on September 7. 
The hold-over surrogates who still had on hand the old probate 
blanks erased the name of Franklin and interlined that of Liv- 
ingston instead. The Register of the Prerogative office began 
new volumes of records of wills, the first entry in Liber No. 
18, page I, being the record of the will of John Sexton, of the 
township of Bedminster, Somerset county, dated September 
10, 1776, and proved October 14, 1776, before James Kirk- 
patrick, surrogate ; probate granted the same day, by Gover- 
nor William Livingston.*

of January 23, 1775; June 6, 1776, and September 6, 1776— all before his accession to 
office. These entries were all made after April 29, 1777, and after he became Ordi- 
nary. The careless use of left-over blanks explains the error. Liber No. 17 con- 
tains no records between June 17, 1776, and 17S5. Liber M, of East Jersey Wills, 
contains no records from June 27, 1776, until 1780. 



IXX UNDER THE STATE GOVERNMENT. 

The disorganization of the governmental machinery conse- 
quent upon the declaration of the independence of New Jer- 
sey was keenly felt in the matter of the settlement of estates. 
Writing from Newark, June 3i, 1777, to Governor Livingston, 
that public-spirited citizen, Joseph Hedden, junior, says: " I 
am daily applied to by some of the inhabitants of this place to 
nominate some fit person to act as deputy surrogate. There 
are a number of wills to be proved, and letters of administra- 
tion granted, and no person in this county qualified to act in 
that office. If your Excellency would please to appoint Elisha 
Boudinot, Esq., to that office it would greatly oblige a num- 
ber of the inhabitants of this town."i 

Letters of administration were granted by Governor Liv- 
ingston, dated November 21, 1777, in which he sets forth : 
"Know ye that at Newark on the day of the date hereof, the 
last will and testament of Daniel Tichenor, late of Essex, de- 
ceased, was proved before Elisha Boudinot, surrogate, who 
was thereunto duly authorized and appointed for that purpose, 
and now approved and allowed of by me." Letters were ac- 
cordingly issued to Susan Tichenor, the executrix named in 
the will, who was required to return a true and perfect inven- 
tory unto the registry of the Prerogative Court in the Secre- 
tory's office at Burlington." 

SPECIAL ACTS FOR SETTLING CERTAIN ESTATES. 

The uncertainty as to the jurisdiction of the courts during 
the Revolutionary period was also instanced by a petition from 
the legatees of Cornelius Johnson, presented to the General As- 
sembly May 17, 1 777' disking tlie House to appoint some per- 
sons to sell lands of his estate, there being no provision in the 
law at the time, providing for such action. 

Special acts were passed from time to time, in the absence 
of power in the Courts to act in such matters, as follows:

FVIRST LEGISLATION CONCERNING THE PREROGATIVE COURT. 

The first legislation in New Jersey concerning the powers 
and duties of the Prerogative Court was a statute passed De- 
cember 16, 17S4, entitled -'An Act to Ascertain the Power 
and Authority of the Ordinary and his vSurrogates, to Regulate 
the Jurisdiction of the Prerogative Court, and to Establish an 
Orphan's Court in the Several Counties of this State." The 
preamble declares that " it is necessary that the power and 
authority of the Ordinary of the State, and his surrogates, 
should be defined, the jurisdiction of the Prerogative Court 



Ixxii ACT CONCERNING THE PREROGATIVE COURT. 

regulated, and an Orphan's Court established in the several 
counHes of this state." 

This act provided : 

" Sec. I. From and after the passing of this act, the author 
ity of the ordinary shall extend only to the granting of pro- 
bates of wills, letters of administration, letters of guardian- 
ship, and marriage licenses, and to the hearing and finally de- 
termining of all disputes that may arise thereon. 

"■ Sec. II. For the more regular hearing and determining of 
all causes, cognizable before the ordinary, he shall statedly 
hold a prerogative court at the times and places appointed, or 
that hereafter shall be appointed by him, for holding the court 
of chancery, when he shall hear, and finally determine all 
causes, that shall come before him, either directly, or by ap- 
peal from any of his surrogates, or the orphan's court, herein- 
after established." 

" Sec. IV. The Ordinary shall hereafter appoint but one 
deputy or surrogate in eacii county of the state; and the 
power and authority of such surrogate sliall be limited to the 
count}' for which he shall be appointed." 

By Sec. V the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas, in 
the several counties, or any three of them, were constituted 
and appointed the Orphan's Court for such count}', and the 
surrogate of the county was made the clerk or register of said 
court. By Sec. VII the Orphan's Court was given full power 
and authority to hear and determine all disputes and contro- 
versies, whatsoever, respecting the existence of wills, the 
fairness of inventories, the right of administration, and the al- 
lowance of the accounts of executors, administrators, guardians 
or trustees, audited and stated by the surrogate, with power 
to award process, etc. In effect, the Orphan's Courts were 
given the same power as the Prerogative Court, but the latter 
retained the original jurisdiction it had formerly enjoyed. ^ 

This statute may be thus analyzed : 

First. It regulated the jurisdiction of the prerogative court, 
by providing for the holding of stated terms of said court, for 
hearing and determining all causes that might come before 

1 Paterson, 59-62. 



ACT CONCERNIN'G THE PREROGATIVE COURT. Ixxiii 

the Ordinary, either directly, or by appeal. (Sec. II.) Where 
disputes respecting the existence of a will, the fairness of an 
inventory, or the right of administration, were determined by 
the orphan's court, an appeal lay to the prerogative court, if 
demanded by one of the parties, within one month next after 
the sentence or decree of the Orphan's Court. (Sec. XV.) 
It thus vested in one officer the powers which in England had 
been entrusted to the Archbishop (or Prerogative Judge) and 
the Ordinaries, or Bishops. This same power had always 
been exercised by the Governors of New Jersey, as we have 
seen. 

Second. It "ascertained the power and authority of the 
ordinary and his surrogates," in Sees. I, II, and IV, quoted 
above. In England the jurisdiction of the Ordinary extended 
to the collating of benefices, and other ecclesiastical functions. 
These had never been exercised by him in New Jersey, and 
the statute expressly eliminates them. The original jurisdic- 
tion of the Ordinary is clearly preserved. 

This subject, particularly the scope of the act of 17S4, was 
thoroughly reviewed in the matter of Abraham Coursen's will, 
at the April term of the Prerogative Court, 1S43. In that case, 
the Ordinary (William Pennington) after reviewing some- 
what briefly the history of the jurisdiction of the Prerogative 
Court, came to this conclusion : 

'' The Ordinary has the same original and appellate pow- 
ers now that he ever had. He has never been deprived of 
these powers by any act of the legislature in fact ; leaving 
out of view the question whether an act of that kind would be 
constitutional if passed at all. The acts of 17S4 and 1820 are 
merely declaratory, so far as they attempt to specify the sub- 
jects of the Ordinary's jurisdiction, or that of his surrogates. I 
have, therefore, no doubt at all that the Ordinary's original 
jurisdiction over the probate of wills, and the granting of let- 
ters of administration, is general and full, and not limited and 
special."! 

1 4 N. J. Eq. (3 Gr. Ch.), 415. This ruling has been followed ever since. See 
Lothrop's case, Prerogative Court, October term, 1880, 33 N. J. Eq. (6 Stew.), 247;

case, Prerogative Court, May term, 1900, 60 N. J. Eq. (15 Dick.), 351 j 



Ixxiv THE orphan's COURT. 

Third. It established an orphan's court in the several 
counties of the State. As already shown, Sees. VII and VIII 
of this act, in defining the powers and duties of this court, 
merely extended to the new tribunal the functions formerly ex- 
ercised exclusively by the Ordinary. Other sections regulated 
the procedure relative to disputes concerning wills, the audit- 
ing of accounts of executors and administrators, fees, etc. 
" This court was instituted by law to remedy and supply the 
defects in the powers of the prerogative court, with regard to 
the accountability of executors, administrators and guardians." 
Sec. XIX provided that all final sentences or decrees of the 
orphan's courts, where no appeal was given to the prerogative 
court, should be subject to removal, by certiorari, into the su- 
preme court, if applied for within three months. ^ 

The novel feature of this act was the provision therein made 
for the protection and control of the estates of minors. Sec. IX 
authorized the court to exact bonds from any executor, execu- 
trix, guardian and trustee, having the care and trust of minors'

Court under the act of June 13, 1820, such as decreeing further security to be given 
by administrators or guardians, or revoking their letters, and on complaints under 
the 8th, 9th and 10th sections, and upon the 12th, 13th, 19th and 20th relative to the 
division and sale of lands; and upon the 30th respecting the final allowance of ac- 
counts, in all these instances, being in nowise the subject of the Ordinary's juris- 
diction, as defined by the statute, nor any appeal given to him, the remedy after 
final sentence or decree of the Orphan's Court, is by certiorari out of the Supreme 
Court." 4 Griffith's Law Register. 1198. 

This provision as to certiorari remained the law until the adoption of the Con- 
stitution of 1844, which provides (Art. VI, Sec. IV, Par. 3): "All persons ag- 
grieved by any order, sentence or decree of the orphans' court, may appeal from 
the same, or from any part thereof, to the prerogative court; but such order, sen- 
tence or decree shall not be removed into the supreme court, or circuit court, if 
the subject matter thereof be within the jurisdiction of the orphans' court"

estates, in certain cases. Sees. XI and XII authorized the sale 
of lands to pay debts in certain cases, and for the support and 
education of minors. Sec. XIII authorized the investment of 
minors' money under the direction of the court. Sec. XIV 
provided for the partition of minors' estates. Sec. XVIII pro- 
vided for the appointment of guardians of orphan minors, or 
of minors having no father. 

" The name and idea of the Orphans' Court were borrowed, 
not from the English ecclesiastical courts, but from a court 
called the Court of Orphans, for a long time established in 
London and some of the other large cities of England, and 
which, as its name imports, had jurisdiction over the estates 
and persons of orphans only."' 

This corresponds in many respects with the provisions in 
the Roman-Dutch law for Orphan Masters, and the powers 
exercised by the Burgomasters and Schepens of New Nether- 
land, who sat as an Orphan's Court, as described on pages xv- 
xix, ante. 

By an act passed March 2, 17S5, the Ordinary or Judge of 
the Prerogative Court was authorized to order the imprison- 
ment of any person neglecting or refusing to obey any cita- 
tions, or perform any sentence or decree made by him, un- 
til the contumacious person should obey the citation, or per- 
form the sentence or decree."^ 



1 Graham v. Houghtalin, Court of Errors, June term, 1863, 30 N. J. L. (1 Vr.), 
562. This was a case where a father, as guardian by nature of his minor children, 
ohtained a decree of the Essex county orphan's court to sell the lands of said 
minors for their support, their father and mother having the life estate, and 
they the remainder. The Court of Errors set aside the sale on the ground that 
the children being minors, and not orphans, the orphan's court had no jurisdic- 
tion; that the father, being guardian by nature only, was not such a guardian as 
named in the statute. See also Genealogy of the Doremus Family in America, 
by William Nelson, Paterson, N. J., 1807, p. 77, for additional particulars of the 
case, which, however, are very fully detailed in the opinion cited. 

There is a " species of guardianship that is founded on the custom of particu- 
lar cities and boroughs, of which the custom of London is the most remarkable. 
This, we are told, entitles the mayor and aldermen, in their Court of Orphans, 
to the custody of the person, lands and chattels of every infant whose parent was 
free of the city of London (at least if he also died within the city): and such 
custody lasts, in the case of males, till twenty-one; of females, till eighteen or 
marriage. It is said, however, to be fallen into disuse."— 3 Stephen's Com. on

Ixxvi ACTS CONCERNING PARTITIONS, WILLS AND GUARDIANS. 

A Supplement to the Orphan's Court Act of 1784, passed 
March 22, 17S6, provided for the partition of lands devised to 
two or more devisees, by three indifferent persons to be ap- 
pointed by the Orphan's Court of the county where the lands 
so devised were situated.^ 

The first general act in relation to the execution of wills 
was passed November 16, 1795, being entitled " An Act con- 
cerning wills." This measure was re-enacted in the revision ot 
1S46, with very slight modifications, and stands substantially 
unchanged today. ~ 

" An Act to regulate the Secretary's Office and the Prerog- 
ative Office in this state, and for the faithful execution of the 
same," passed November 23, 1795, recites that there had been 
much negligence in recording wills in the office of the Secre- 
tary of State, whence had arisen great confusion. The act 
therefore provided that the Secretary and Register should give 
bond for the faithful performance and execution of his duties, 
and subscribe an oath for the proper discharge of such duties. 
It also required the Secretary and Register to record with all 
convenient speed, legibly and fairly, all papers coming to his 
hands, and which might appertain to liis office to record ; 
also, to report quarterly to the Governor, and annually to the 
Legislature.^ 

" An act relative to guardians," passed February i, 1799, 
prescribed the duties of guardians, regulated their accounting 
to the orphan's court, and authorized the guardian to sell the 
lands of the ward, adequate for his or her maintenance and edu- 
cation, under the direction of the court."* This took the place 
of Sec. XII of the Act of 1784. 



1 Paterson's Laws, 77. Judge Griffith, in "Eumenes," calls attention to the 
extraordinary character of this legislation, which vested in three persons ap- 
pointed by the court, the power which by the common law of England had al- 
ways resided in a jury, and notwithstanding the fact that Section XXII of the 
Constitution of 1776 expressly provided " that the unestimable right of trial by 
jury shall remain confirmed, as a part of the law of this Colony, without repeal, 
forever," and Section XXIII required every member of the Legislature to take an 
oath that he would not assent to any law which should annul or repeal that part 
of the twenty-second section of the Constitution respecting the trial by jury.

SUNDRY ACTS. Ixxvii 

Executors or administrators were authorized to sell lands 
of their testators or intestates, to pay debts of such testa- 
tors or intestates, under the authority of the orphan's court, 
by Sections XIX-XXIV of " An Act making lands liable 
to be sold for the payment of debts," passed February 
iS, 1799, which repealed Sees. XI and XII of the Or- 
phan's Court Act of 1784.^ Another act, passed November 
13, 1804, empowered the orphan's court to decree the fulfill- 
ment of contracts for the sale of lands, made in the lifetime of 
any testator or intestate, and to order the execution of a deed 
therefor by the executor, administrator or legal representatives 
of the deceased." The provision for the sale of lands of testa- 
tors or intestates for the paymant of debts was extended by an 
act passed February 21, 1820, to the part or parts of a share 
of propriety of undivided rights, or warrant to locate any land, 
either in the eastern or western division of New Jersey, under 
the direction of the Orphans' Court. ^ "An act concerning 
the estates of persons who die insolvent," passed June 12, 1S20, 
embodied a revision and codification of previous statutes au- 
thorizing executors and administrators to sell lands of their 
decedents only by direction of the Orphans' Court."* 

" An Act concerning surrogates, and declaring what ex- 
emplifications of wills and testaments shall be holden and re- 
ceived as good evidence," passed June 7, 1799, required the sur- 
rogates to make quarterly reports in writing to the register of 
the prerogative court, and to give bond to the State for the 
faithful performance of their office, etc." 

An act was passed June 13, 1797, " for the distribution of 
the estates of persons, who die, not leaving sufficient prop- 
erty to pay all their just debts," which provided that such es- 
tates should be distributed among the creditors pro rata, after 
payment of the physician's bill, during the last sickness, 
funeral charges, and judgments obtained and entered of record

Ixxviii CHANGE IN THE SYSTEM OF RECORDING WILLS. 

during the life of the decedent. ^ This act was revised June 
12, 1820.- 

CHANGE IN THE SYSTEM OF RECORDING WILLS. 

Until 1804 it was the practice, no matter where or before 
whom wills were proved, to send them to the Register of the 
Prerogative Court to be recorded — at Perth Amboy, Burling- 
ton or Trenton, as the case might be. 

By an act passed November 9, 1803, a new system was in- 
stituted. It was provided in this statute that the surrogate 
general should, at the expense of the State, provide the sev- 
eral surrogates with seals, with one uniform device. Up to 
this time it had been the rule to record all wills in the office ol 
the Register of the Prerogative Court, but this act provided 
that wills, letters of guardianship and all letters testamentary 
and administrations granted and issued by the surrogate, and 
also all inventories by him received, should be by him record- 
ed in his office, which records should have the same force, 
validity, and effect, as the like records in the registry of the 
prerogative office. The original wills were to be transmitted 
quarterly to the register of the prerogative court, to be filed in 
his office. This continues to be the usual practice, but the 
original jurisdiction of the Ordinary has remained. By this 
act the surrogates were also vested with the powers of the 
Ordinary in the appointment of guardians of persons under 
twenty-one years, subject to an appeal to the prerogative 
court. -^ Where suitable offices were provided for their accom- 
modation, surrogates were i-equired to keep their books and 
records therein, by an act passed December i, 1804.^ It was 
made the duty of the register of the prerogative court, by an 
act passed November 25, iSoS, to keep an alphabetical index 
of testators, and to put up the wills of each year and county 
by themselves ; also to keep an index of intestates, inventories 
of whose estates he might receive, and to file such inventories.'' 
This act was embodied in a revision passed May 27, 1820.'^

in 1901 and 1902. « Rev. 728. 



REVISION OF THE ACT OF I7S4. Ixxix 

The orphan's court was given power, by an act passed 
March i, 1804, to appouit guardians of idiots or lunatics, and 
to direct the sale of their lands for the payment of their debts, 
and the support of their households, if they had any.^ This 
act was revised and amended, Feb. 28, 1S20.'- 

Some later legislation may be briefly noted here : 
Where commissioners appointed to divide lands between 
coparceners, joint-tenants, tenants in common, guardians of 
minors or trustees, should be of the opinion that the lands were 
so circumstanced that a partition thereof could not be made 
without great prejudice to the owners of the same, the court 
appointing them might order the commissioners or persons ap- 
pointed to make partition, to sell the lands and pay the pro- 
ceeds to the parties interested ; the guardians of persons under 
the age of twenty-one years, entitled to a proportion of the 
moneys arising from any such sale, to be required to give bond 
to the Governor.^ 

Where a debtor had made an assignment for the benefit of 
his creditors, the assignee was required by an act passed Feb- 
ruary 23, 1S20, to exhibit to the surrogate of the county an in- 
ventory and valuation of the estate so assigned, and enter into 
bond to the state for the faithful performance of the trust ; the 
surrogate was directed to endorse the receipt of said bond on 
the deed of assignment, after which the same was to be re- 
corded in the County Clerk's office.^ 

" A Supplement to the act relative to dower," passed Feb- 
ruary 24, 1820, gave the Orphans' Court jurisdiction in the ap- 
pointment of commissioners to set oft^ dower, with an appeal 
to the surrogate-general. Where a husband died seized of 
lands in two or more counties, the commissioners were to be 
appointed by the Ordinary or Surrogate-General.^

rogates, to Regulate the Jurisdiction of the Prerogative Court, 
and to Establish an Orphan's Court in the several counties of 
the State," and all the other acts relating to the same subject, 
were revised and codified in a nev\^ statute with the same title, 
passed June 13, 1820.^ 

In this revision the plural form was followed in designating 
"The Orphans' Court," instead of the singular number, as in 
the original act. Section i omits the provision extending the 
jurisdiction of the Ordinary to marriage licenses. Section 4 
provides that the Ordinary shall appoint but one deputy or sur- 
rogate in each county, whose power and authority shall be lim- 
ited to such county. Section 6 of the old act, requiring the 
judges of the Orphans' Court to take an oath of office, is omit- 
ted. Section 7 of the new act authorizes the court to require 
security of guardians, and also to demand new security where 
the court deems 'that previously given to be insufficient. It 
omits the provision authorizing the Ordinary to grant letters of 
administration. Section 8 extends to guardians as well as ad- 
ministrators the provision in Section 7 relative to security.- 
Section 9 provides that upon the application of the surety of an 
administrator or guardian the court may order an investigation 
of his accounts, and may require security for the true payment 
of the balance remaining in his hands, otherwise the court may 
revoke the letters of administration or guardianship, and grant 
the same to other persons. Section 1 1 of the new act regulates 
the investment of moneys by executors, administrators, trus- 
tees or guardians, such investment to be made under the direc- 
tion of the court, otherwise the executor, etc., shall be account- 
able for the interest that might have been made thereby ; where 
they make use of the money of minors, the guardians shall be 
accountable for interest and principal. Sections 13-19 incor- 
porate the provisions of the former act^ relative to the partition 

1 Rev. 776. 

2 A supplement, passed March 6, 1828, makes it the duty of the court to remove 
executors, guardians, etc., who neglect or refuse to give security, when required 
by the court, and to appoint new executors, guardians, etc., who shall give secur- 
ity. Theexecutors, guardians, etc., removed shall immediately deliver to their 
successors all goods, moneys, etc., they may have held, and in case of failure to do 
so may be sued for the same. Pamph. Laws, 1828. p. 192; Elmer's Digest, 308.

REVISION OF THE ACT OF 1 784. Ixxxi 

of lands of coparceners, etc. Section 20 provides for sales of 
lands to satisfy judgments by authority of the Orphans' Court, 
as under the act of February iS, 1799. ^^ection 3i provides 
that the Surrogate of each county shall take depositions to wills, 
administr;!.tions, inventories, and administration bonds in cases 
of intestacy, and issue thereon letters testamentary and of ad- 
ministration ; cases of dispute to be heard by the Orphans' 
Court, subject to an appeal to the Prerogative Court. Section 
26 authorizes the Ordinary or Surrogate General to cause any 
guardianship bond to be prosecuted in a court of record, etc. 
Section 27 provides "that the powers and duties formerly ex- 
ercised and performed by the Ordinary, relative to the admis- 
sion of guardians, for persons under the age of twenty-one 
years, shall hereafter be exercised and performed by the Or- 
phans' Court of tile county in which the minor applying for a 
guardian may resiile, or shall have real or personal estate, sub- 
ject, however, to an appeal to the Prerogative Court 

Provided, that nothing in this act shall be construed to pre- 
vent the Ordinary or Surrogate-General, in person, from 
granting probates of wills, letters of administration and 
letters of guardianship, from the prerogative office, in 
cases where a convenience will arise from doing the 
same." Section 2S provides for the appointment of guard- 
ians of orphins of the age of fourteen years or upwards, on 
petition to the Orphans' Court, signed by such orphans in the 
presence of the surrogate ; and for the appointment of guard- 
ians of orphans under fourteen years of age, upon the petition 
of a mother, or next of kin, etc. Section 29 requires the sur- 
rogate to enter into bond. Section 30 provides that the surro- 
gate shall audit and state the accounts of executors and admin- 
istrators, guardians and trustees, and report the same to the 
Orphans' Court. .Section 31 provides that any executor, ad- 
ministrator, guardian or trustee, accounting, may be examined 
by the court under oath ; the same section provides for the al- 
lowance of commissions. Section 32 provides that the sen- 
tence or decree of the Orphans' Court on the final settlement 
and allowance of such accounts shall be conclusive upon all 
parties, except in cases of fraud or mistake. Section 38 pro-

vides that executors, etc., shall produce receipts and discharges 
for the payment of legacies, etc., duly acknowledged, which 
shall be recorded by the surrogate in a book provided for the 
savTie. The other provisions of the act were almost precisely 
the same as in the original acts.^ 

It will be noticed that this act discloses a distinct purpose 
to transfer from the Ordinary or vSurrogate-General to the 
surrogates, and from the Prerogative Court to the Orphans' 
Courts, much of the jurisdiction formerly vested exclusively in 
the former. This is particularh' apparent in Section 27, al- 
though the jurisdiction of the Ordinary is expressly reserved 
by the proviso added to the section. Section 23, which auth- 
orizes the surrogates to issue letters testamentary and letters of 
administration, provides: ''and the said probate of wills and 
letters of administration shall have the same validity and effect 
as probate of wills and letters of administration issued by the 
register of the Prerogative ofBce, in the name of the Ordinary 
or Surrogate-General, with the seal of the office affixed." 

The scope of this Revision of 1820 was carefully reviewed 
in the matter of Abraham Coursen's will, by the Ordinary, in 
1843,^ with the conclusion that "the Ordinary has the same or- 
iginal and appellate powers now that he ever had. He has 
never been deprived of these powers by any act of the Legis- 
lature in fact; leaving out of view, the question whether aii 
act of that kind would be constitutional. "^ It was the view of 
the writer in Griffith's Law Register that the Ordinary had or- 
iginal jurisdiction in regard to the granting of probate of wills, 
etc.'' 

THE APPOINTMENT OF SURROGATES. 

A remarkable encroachment on the prerogatives of the 
Ordinary in the matter of the appointment of surrogates was 
made by the Legislature in 1S22, when that body assumed the 
power which previously had been always exercised by that 
functionary. An act passed November 28, 1822, provided ;

THE APPOINTMENT OF SURROGATES. Ixxxiii 

"The surrogates of the several counties shall be appointed by 
the joint meeting,^ and hold office for five years, unless sooner 
removed according to law. Vacancies shall be filled by the 
Governor until the next session of the legislature, vvhen his 
successor shall be appointed by the joint meeting for five years." ~ 
A measure of this kind, passed at the present day, would be in- 
terpreted by the average citizen as simply a "grab" for the 
"spoils of office." There is no reason to believe that the Leg- 
islators of 1S23 were above the human weaknesses of tlieir suc- 
cessors. It is possible that the act was intended as a step in 
the direction of popular government, in vesting tlie appoint- 
ment in the representatives elected by the people, instead of in 
the Ordinary, who was himself appointed by the Legislature 
in joint meeting. A more pronounced step in that direction 
was taken in the constitution of 1844, which provides that the 
surrogates of the several counties shall be elected by the legal 
voters of tlie counties respectively and shall hold oftice for five 
years. They are subject to removal only by impeachment. 

An act passed December 12, 1825, authorized "the Surro- 
gate-General, upon the written application of a majority of 
the judges of the Orphans' Court of the county, supported by 
affidavits, to remove any surrogate incapacitated by mental de- 
rangement, insanity or great debility of mind, from properly 
performing the duties of liis office, and to appoint some fit pei- 
son to perform such duties during such incapacity, or until the 
next meeting of the Legislature."-^. 

FOREIGN WILLS. 

Foreign wills — those made beyond and disposing of prop- 
erty within, the Colony — had been recognized at least as early 
as 1686, as in the case of Edward Barker, already cited.'* It 
is true that in a sense this was not a foreign will, being within 
the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Canterbury. But on 
September 9, 1776, in the new State of New Jersey, a certified 
copy of the will (dated October — , 1772) of Peter Sonmans,

as recorded in Philadelphia, was produced, and letters of ad- 
ministration with the will annexed were granted thereon, under 
the Prerogative seal.i j^y ;,,-, act passed December 9, 1825, 
foreign wills were authorized to be filed or recorded in the pre- 
rogative office of this State, or in the office of the surrogate of 
any county, such wills to be of the same force and eflect as if the 
probate thereon had been granted by the Ordinary or Surro- 
gate of the county. 2 The scope of this act was two-fold : it 
preserved the record in New Jersey of the disposition of prop- 
erty within the State by the wills of non-residents; and it also 
placed the office of Surrogate in this matter upon a parity with 
that of the Ordinary. 

MISCELLANEOUS ACTS. 

Another act passed December 9, 1825, provided that cita- 
tion or process of attachment issued out of the orphans' court 
might be served or executed by the sheriff of the county upon 
any person or persons residing without the county, but within 
the state. 3 

By an act of February 19, 1830, the Ordinary was author- 
ized, where he had been interested in a case, to call to his as- 
sistance one of the justices of the Supreme Court to sit and ad- 
vise with him on the hearing or argument of such case."* 

Any oath, affidavit or affirmation required to be made or 
taken to use before any surrogate or any orphan's court, was 
authorized to be made and taken before the surrogate, by an 
act passed February 21, 1840.^ 

A seemingly unnecessary bit of legislation was an act passed 
February 2^, 1842, authorizing the orphan's court and the 
county courts to adjourn from any day in the term to any sub- 
sequent day in the next term, but for not more than one week. ^ 
Probably the point had been raised that the court could not ad- 
journ to a day beyond the term. 

An important change in the practice was made by an act 
passed February 22, 1843, which provided that where a de- 
cree of the orphans' court on the final settlement or allowance

of the accounts of executors, etc, or any final decree of such 
orphans' court should be reversed and vacated or set aside by 
the Supreme Court on certiorari, the latter court (instead of 
sending the matter bacl< for the action of the lower tribunal) 
might direct their clerk to audit and re-state the accounts, and 
might grant a decree thereon in the same manner as the or- 
phans' court might have done. The act also provided that if 
any minor or minors should become seized or possessed of, or 
entitled to any real or personal estate in the lifetime of the 
father of such minor or minors, the Ordinary or Surrogate- 
General, or the orphans' court, might appoint the father or 
other suitable person or persons, guardian or guardians of the 
estate of such minor or minors.' 

PROPOSED REVISION OF THK ORPHANS* COURT ACT. 

The inadequacy of the Revision of 1S20 was speedily re- 
cognized by the Bench and Bar, and in response to a verv gen- 
eral demand for an improvement in the procedure in the Pre- 
rogative and Orphans' Courts the Legislature arlopted a joint 
resolution, February 6, 1833, authorizing the Governor to ap- 
point "some fit and discreet person, learned in the law, to 
amend, revise and adjust all acts, parts of acts and supple- 
ments relating to the Ordinary and his surrogates, and the Or- 
phans' Court, and the practice and proceedings in all matters 
severally cognizable before them, or which of right ought so to 
be, and report at the next sitting of the Legislature." '- Under 
this resolution the Governor, in April, 1S33, selected Jos- 
eph W. Scott, of Somerset County, one of the ablest lawyers 
of the day, to prepare the report and revision in question. Col. 
Scott made his report February 8, 1S34, ^^^^^ '^ was printed in 
a pamphlet of one hundred pages or more. It comprised an 
able and exceedingly interesting review and history of the Pre- 
rogative Court and the Orphans' Court, and of their procedure 
and practice, from early times. It also embraced a proposed 
revision and codification of the several statutes I'elating to those 
courts, and tlie subjects within their jurisdiction, and incor- 
porated some radical amendments to the existing laws.-* The

changes suggested seem to have been too numerous and too 
pronounced to meet with the favor of the Legishiture. Accord- 
ingly, the whole subject was allowed to remain in abeyance un- 
til the adoption of the new constitution of the State, in 1S44. 

THE CONSTITUTION OF 1S44. 

By tliat instrument (Art. VI, Sec. I.) the Prerogative 
Court was made one of the constitutional courts: "The judicial 
power shall be vested in a court of errors and appeals in the 
last resort in all causes as heretofore : ^ a court for the trial of 
impeachments ; a court of chancery ; a prerogative court ; a 
supreme court; circuit court," etc. 

Whereas formerly the Governor, appointed annually by the 
Legislature in joint meeting, was also Chancellor, Ordinary and 
Judge of the Prerogative Court, which practically made only 
lawyers eligible to the office of Governor, the new constitution 
provided that the Chancellor should be nominated and by and 
with the advice and consent of the Senate appointed by the Gov- 
ernor, for the term of seven years ; and that the Chancellor, so 
appointed, should be the Ordinary, and Judge of the Prerogative 
Court. 

THE REVISIONS OF 1846, 1S74 AND 189S. 

Tlie numerous changes made by the constitution of 1S44 
made imperative a general revision of the statutes. This was 
entrusted to a commission, of whom Henry W. Green, subse- 
quently Chief Justice, and later Chancellor, and ex-Governor 
Peter D. Vroom are understood to have been the most active 
members. Their revision and codification of the statutes was 
enacted into law by the Legislature, by a series of acts approv- 
ed April 16, 1846, and known as the Revised Statutes, and of 
course embraced a revision and amendment of the laws relat- 
ing to the Prerogative Court and the Orphans' Court. ^ 

1 In 1^46 an appeal was taken from a decree of tbe Ordinary to the Court of 
Errors and Appeals, but the latter Court held that it had never possessed or exer- 
cised such jurisdiction, and had acquired no new powers by the Constitution of 
1844. The subject received a new aspect when the Legislature passed an act. ap- 
proved February 17. 1869, expressly authorizing an appeal to be taken from the 
Prerogative Court, and this was held to be constitutional, as not being- an infringe- 
ment upon or a reduction of the powers or jurisdiction of the latter court, but 
merely an elargement of the powers of the Court of Appeals.— Pa/rtp/i. Laws, 
1869, p. 84. See Anthony v. Anthony, Court of Errors and Appeals, 1846, o N. J.

I HE PUKROGATIVE SEAL. Ixxxvii 

The session laws since 1S46 are within the reach of every- 
one desiring to consult them. Hence it is unnecessary to con- 
tinue this historical review further. It may be noted, however, 
that the statutes on these subjects were again revised, though 
very slightly, in 1S74, when the title of the Orphans' Court 
Act of 1874 ^'^^ altered, to read : ''An Act respecting the Or- 
phans' Court, relating to the powers of the Ordinary, the Or- 
phans' Court and the Surrogates," approved March 27, 1874. ^ 

A very careful, comprehensive and most admirably drafted 
revision of the Orphans' Court Act was enacted in 189S, entitl- 
ed ''An Act respecting the Orphans' Court" (Revision of 
1S9S).- 

THK PREROGATIVE SEAL. 

There is reason to believe that there were a seal of the Col- 
ony, and seals of the Colonial Courts, in use in the administra- 
tion of Gov. Philip Carteret, but they are not known to exist, 
a)id no impression of the court seals of his time has come down 
to us. The Proprietors of East Jersey were distinctly religi- 
ous, and expressed their reverence for the Almighty on every 
suitable occasion. Their seal, adopted in 16S2, bears the leg- 
ends. "Righteousness exalteth a Nation," and "'Tis God giv- 
eth the increase." The earliest impression of the Prerogative 
seal that has been found is affixed to a certified copy of the will 
or codicil of Thomas French, '-being v/ith the said original 
Examined this Third of May Anno Dom 1699 As witness 
hereunto my hand Sc scale of office." The document is sign- 
ed by Tho. Revell, Secretary and Register, and bears a very 
fine, clear impression of the Prerogative seal in red wax.'' An- 
other fair impression of the seal is found affixed to leti'ers of ad- 
ministration granted July 21, 1700, to William Malcolm, of 
Philadelphia, principal creditor, on the estate of John Haugh- 
ton, late of Mannington, Salem county, West Jersey, "by the 
justices of West Jersey, sitting as the Court at Gloucester, and 
given under the hand and seal of the Register's ofhce at Bur- 
lington."'

Ixxxviii THE PKEROGATIVE SEAL. 

A reproduction of the seal attached to the fornner document 
(1699) ^^ given herewith. The design is not heraldic, nor is 
any attempt at blazonry apparent. It is evidently a conven- 
tional representation of the globe, with its embracing great cir- 
cles and bands. The legend unmistykably reads : THE 
EARTH lb THE LORIJS AND THE FVLNESE 
THEREOF. The sentence is undoubtedly from the first 
line of Psalm xxiv : "The earth is the Lord's and the fulness 
thereof." This is the reading of all the English versions in use 
in Scotland and England at the date of this seal — not only the 
authorized version of King James, 161 1, but the Genevan or 
Breeches bible, 1560, and the Cranmer bible of 1539. This 
seal is an inch and one-sixteenth in diameter. There are no 
punctuation marks between the words. 

When Lord Cornbury became Governor of New Jersey and 
appointed Thomas Revell Register of the Prerogative Court, 
February 28, 1703-4, it is probable that the latter procured a 
new seal. A fair impression of the Prerogative seal used under 
the Royal Governors is found affixed to letters of administration 
granted January 10, 1765, to Anna Wetherell, on the estate 
of Thomas Wetherell, late of Salem covmty, deceased. This 
seal is an inch and an eighth in diameter. The design is the 
same as that of the impression of 1699, but there is a punctua- 
tion mark after each word, and a fltur de lis at the end. The 
inscription is enclosed between raised lines, and reads : THE • 
EARTH - IS . THE • LORDS • AND • THE • FVL- 
NESE . THEREOF. 

After Governor William Franklin was deported from New 
Jersey, in June, 1776, by order of the Continental Congress, 
the official seals of the Province were missing. For a time 
Governor William Livingston, the Executive of the new State, 
affixed his private seal-at-arms to public documents, in the ab- 
sence of a great seal of the State, and indeed this was expressly 
authorized by the Legislature until such time as anew seal 
could be procured. He stretched his authority so far as to at- 
tach his private seal to letters of administration granted on the 
estate of David Tichenor, in 1778.^ Similar letters granted to

THE PREROGATIVE SEAT.. Ixxxlx 

the executors of Samuel Sherry, hite of the couiify of Salem, in 
1779, have no seal affixed. On January 31, 1783, letters of ad- 
ministration were granted to Sarah Miller, on the estate of 
Peter iviiller, by William Livingston, Governor, and for the 
lack of any other conveiiient seal, they are issued under that of 
the Supreme Court. Shortly after this, however, all such in- 
struments have attached the proper seal of the Prerogative 
Court. This was very similar to the old seal, but was a trifle 
larger. A brilliant impression of tlie nevv' seal is found at- 
tached to the certilicate of probate of the will of Clirij-.teen 
Kitts, late of Salem county, under date of March 7, iSoi. 
This seal is an inch and three-eighths in diameter, or a quarter 
of an inch larger than its immediate predecessor, and five-six- 
teenthsofan inchlarger tlian theColonial seal of 1699 and earlier. 
The design is the saaie as both the former seals, except that the 
broad dexter curved band crosses the circle of the equator more 
to the west of the meridian than in eitlier of the others, and 
does not fully touch the periphery of the globe. Tiie words of 
the legend are separated bji punctuation marks as in the case 
of the impression of 1765, but the fleur de lis at the end has 
shrunk to a merely conventional figure. The greatest change, 
however, is in the substitution of the word EVENESE for 
FVLNESE, so that the legend is: THE • EARTH • IS • 
THE . LORDS • AND- THE- EVENESE -THEREOF. 
The engraver has copied from a faint impression in which the 
first syllable of the word in question, FVL, appeared to be EVE. 
This readily accounts for the mistake in the legend, for that it is an 
error is beyond question. This is the seal which has been in use in 
the Prerogative office for more than a hundred years, until now 
it is barely legible. No authority has been found for the use 
of this seal, nor has it been discovered when it was engraved. 
It seems to have been conceded that one of the inherent powers 
of a court was to adopt a seal, and that has been done by the 
Prerogative Court, as well as by the other tribunals of New 
Jersey, from the earliest times, and without express legisla- 
tive sanction. 



Calendar of New Jersey Wills. 



Note.— The books cited as Libers 1, 2, 3, etc., are of West Jersey Wills. Those 
cited as Libers A, B, etc., are of East Jersey Wills. Where there is no reference, 
tlie wills or other papers, of which abstracts are given, are among the unrecorded 
wills of the county to which they pertain. Thus, on this page, the will of George 
Abott (or Abbott) is recorded in Liber No. 3 of West Jersey Wills, page 61. The 
inventory of his personal estate is not recorded, but is filed in the box or boxes 
containing Salem county wills and other papers pertaining to the administration 
of estates for that county. Besides the regular series of West Jersey Wills, there 
are three of Salem Wills, and many are to be found in the Burlington Records. 
In some cases where the county is not designated in the papers, the reference has 
been added, as "Middlesex Wills," meaning that the papers are not recorded, but 
may be found in the box or boxes containing Middlesex Wills, etc.

1 The Society for the Propapation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts granted leave 
to the Rev. John Holbrooke, missionary at Salem, N. J., to remove to Burlington, 
at his request, as appears by the Society's letter to him of March 15, 1725-6. At 
the same time they sent the Rev. Nathaniel Horwood to take the Salem charge. 
But when he arrived at Salem, in January, 1727, he found that Mr. Holbrooke had 
concluded to remain there. Mr. Horwood therefore decided to go to Burling- 
ton, which he did. He seems to have met with some success at first, but toward 
the end of his allotted term of three years, there v.-as a desire expressed (Dec. 3, 
1729) by the churchwardens for a change, they alleging that he had •' reduced 
once a brave flourishing congregation, into almost nothing at all." Mr. Horwood 
himself wrote home to the Society, retiuesting to be relieved. His wish was grat- 
ified, perhaps not altogether unexpectedly, for death took him, January 28, 1730, 
at Burlington.— Hi/is's Church at Burlington., passim.

3 The Rev. Alexander Innes was commissioned Chaplain of the Church of Eng- 
land in the Fort in New York, April 20, 1680. He brought over an order from 
Lord Middleton to Gov. Thomas Dougan that he should have the occupancy of two 
houses, but they were in such poor condition that he would not live in them. He 
is referred to as " Doctor " in a paper of Feb. 0-19, 1G88, wherein it is stated that 
he insisted upon a certain interpretation of the words " Wild Indians," used in a 
treaty with the French. In the troubles in 1689, pending the Revolution, Dr. 
Innes was declared to be " by outv/ard pretence a Protestant but in effect a meere 
papist, whoe deceitfully has provided him with a certificate of the Ministers of 
the Dutch and France Church as if he was a true Protestant." He left New York 
about August, 1689, probably to escape the persecutions of Jacob Leisler, who in 
a letter to King William and Queen Mary, dated August :30, 1689, insisted that he 
had " testimony in good forme " that Dr. Innes was " known to be of opinion con- 
tray to " the Protestant religion. Innes and others sent to England a formal sub- 
mission to the new Sovereigns, and followed it in person. It does not appear 
when he returned to America; but in October, 1702, George Keith enters in his 
journal that -'Mr. Innes being in Priests orders often preached among them [the 
people of Shrewsbury, Freehold,- and vicinity] and by preaching and conferences 
freQ.uently v/ith the Quakers and other sorts of people, as also by his pious con-

1686 Oct. 2. Innes, Gilbert, late of Aberdeen, Scotland, now of 

versation, has done much good among them and been very instrumental to draw 
them off from their errors and bring them over to the church." The story of Mr. 
Innes' ministrations at Shrewsbury and thereabouts is thus summarized by the 
authorities of the church: " Col. Morris did undoubtedly in the year 1703, very 
earnestly solicit Dr. Beveridge (late Bishop of St. Asaph) a member of this Soci- 
ety [for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts], to recommend it to the 
Society, to send a Missionary to Monmouth county, New Jersey, where a consid- 
erable body of people had formed themselves into a gathered Church and had 
promised all the help their narrow circumstances could afford their Minister. The 
Society were not then able to support a Missionary there. But the Reverend 
Mr. Alexander Inni.s happening to be in tliose parts, took the care of that people 
upon him. After a worthy discharge of his Function for some time, he died; up- 
on which the Justices of the Peace, the High Sheriff, and the Grand Jury of Mon- 
mouth county, did represent to the Society, in the year 1717, that the worthy Rev- 
erend Alexander Innis, by unwearied pains and industry, gathered three congre- 
gations in this county, tho' much scattered in their habitations; yet did he visit 
them, teaching them, instructing them all, once at least in three weeks."— A''. T.

1 Lars Tollstartius, a Swedish clerg-yman of Stockholm, volunteered to come to 
America at his own expense, to succeed the Rev. Andreas Rudman, who was about 
to return home, after ministering- a number of years to the Swedish settlements 
on the Delaware. His offer was gladly accepted at first, but evil reports began to 
be circulated about him. and he was forbidden to depart. Nevertheless, he came 
over, arriving in Philadelphia in November, 1701. He represented that his cre- 
dentials would soon follow, and on these assurances he was authorized to minis- 
ter temporarily to the churches as opportunity offered. Shortly before Er.ster, 
1702. the duly commissioned missionary arrived. Tollstadius then, on one pre- 
tence or another, crossed over into New Jersey, where he seems to have had ad- 
dress sufficient to win the people to his support, instead of sustaining the Rev. 
Eric Biorck. the regular minister in charge. Moreover, he secured the erection 
(in 1704) of a church at Raccoon Creek, while Biorck vainly sought to compel the 
people to meet their engagements for his own support. Early in the year 1706 a 
scandalous report arose, concprning the relations of Tollstadius with a young 
woman of his congregation. It was said that he was bound over to appear at 
court. On the ninth of May of that year the canoe in which he was carried across 
the Delaware was driven ashore on the Jersey side. It contained his traveling 
cloak and an iron plowshare, probably used for an anchor. His lifeless body was 
found nine days later on the Pennsylvania side of the river, below Upland (now 
Ch.(t?^tev).~ Records 0/ Holy Trinity Church (Wilmington), 1890, pp. 88-111; Acrelius's

America for the purpose of relieving the Rev. Mr. Lidenius. who was pastor of 
the Swedish Churches at Raccoon and Pennsneck, Salem County. N. J. He was 
accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Andrew Windrufva as Adjunct Pastor, who was 
called by Bishop Svedbcrg, in his Ministerial Commission and passport, Drufva, 
to distinguish him from his unfortunate brother; but he always retained his cus-
